Bill: Redirection Act
Details
Submitted by[?]: Kanjoran Imperial 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: June 2138
Description[?]:
The state is in terrible pain. The soft liberal values have taken rights away from the government and given the weak, ignorant people the power to make decisions that they do not understand. Meanwhile, the Federal State has taken power from the regional governments. The regions know what is best for their people, not the Federal State. These problems must be fixed. |

Message | I like a few articles but the majority I don't like. A Nationalizes post officer, to me, is a good idea. I am sure every country has one. With the age of internet and e-mail, the need for a speedy mail service is decreased. We would rather see the mail services stay nationalized. Also on the subject of recycles garbage. Recycling helps out the enviroment. It re-uses materials that would otherwise propably just be dumped. Relaxing regulations on this would lead to increased pollution. Artical 1 also gets me. While I do believe in minimal rights for citizens, I believe this is going to far. That reaches on tyranny. I believe that police should be given a good deal of power, but not the power to do whatever they please. Sometimes demonstrations are good because it can stress a point that isn't usually stressed. This also means that the police could break up any group of people they see. Since I disagree with the majority of the articles in this proposal I will vote no. |
