Bill: Repeal of the Socialist Manifesto
Details
Submitted by[?]: Conservative Nationalist Party
Status[?]: passed
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: April 2857
Description[?]:
| A CSP majority last term narrowly passed the CSP omnibus, which contained a large number of policies the CNP considers to be damaging to the well-being of Hobrazia. We seek to overturn those policies, and restrict the government to its rightful place. The CNP also adds two articles from its platform of social conservatism. These steps will build a stronger moral fiber in our nation. |
