Bill: Gambling Act of 2128.
Details
Submitted by[?]: Liberal-Progressive Union
Status[?]: defeated
Votes: This is an ordinary bill. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: December 2128
Description[?]:
| This bill removes restictions on gambling and removes the regulations. We believe that gambling is already widespread due to the difficulty of enforcement of the current law. If people can gamble in casinos, then they can gamble anywhere they choose. This removes the law that is on the books, as that is all the current law is: A law that doesn't serve any purpose, |

| Message | If people choose to gamble, then let them. They are already gambling anyway, so this makes it easier for those trying to enforce the current law. |
| Date | 22:58:25, October 19, 2005 CET | From | We Say So! Party | To | Debating the Gambling Act of 2128. |
| Message | We disagree that the current laws are unenforcible, in fact they are easily enforcible. If people wish to gamble they already can, in licensed casinos so that they can guarantee that quality of service and security is of a high standard, and in their own homes. There is no requirement for changing these laws except to allow unscrupulous people to swindle people out of their money. We vote no. |
