Bill: Nuclear Weapons Bill
Details
Submitted by[?]: Novy Smer Party
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: July 2134
Description[?]:
| We should take the lead in dismantling our nuclear arsenal and bringing an end to the arms race. Surely we would never actually use these doomsday weapons anyway, so lets stop bluffing and instead take the moral high ground. The technology can prove useful in other areas of research so we should allow research and development to continue. |

| Message | We shall back this as a first step, but ask since when the law has been this way? We always thought such weapons were banned, but we shall ban them now. Soon we will propose a bill to ban research and development as well. Nuclear weapons are a scourge on the face of the earth. |
| Date | 19:45:26, October 31, 2005 CET | From | Aldegar Liberty Party | To | Debating the Nuclear Weapons Bill |
| Message | The NL believes nuclear weaponry to be the best deterrent of international conflict. The threat of Mutually Assured Destruction (MAD) protects Aldegar from foreign threat in a way no other device does. |
| Date | 12:08:38, November 01, 2005 CET | From | Novy Smer Party | To | Debating the Nuclear Weapons Bill |
| Message | That assumes that someone would actually believe that we would be willing to "push the button". Even if we were attacked by nuclear weapons first would any party leader really be insane enough to destroy the world by retaliating in kind? |
