Bill: Food Labelling
Details
Submitted by[?]: The Socialist Movement 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 2138
Description[?]:
| It has been seen that many comapnies have taken advantage of our goverments loose control on food labeling and have produced food with short and unreadable labels. people have cried to the goverment to stop this act and as the people's goverment, this goverment must do something to change. I and my party, propose this bill to make sure companies don't play with our food nor conceal anything we are supposed to read to make sure our food is not tampered with. National Safety Food management, is not the job of the local, it the reponsibility of the National goverment and we must do that. |

| Message | Save your propaganda for somewhere else.... show me the proof of these cries for help, these violations. The only thing that is evident to me, is your desire to remove personal choice. |

| Message | OOC - Calm down first of all, and second of all....... He is speaking in the halls of Parliament to introduce this bill. Bills are not just papers, they have people behind them and that is why he is speaking. |

| Message | "This is no propoganda, If you want to leave your rich and privilaged lufe and exprience what this companies who write in small prints put on our people's shelf's, then you would be grateful to the SMP for introducing such a BILL. The National Goverment has the right to Introduce Safety rules and not the Local Goverment, If you feel that way, then you are most certanly trying to avoid the responsibility you have been elected for" Warsame Mohamed Leader of the SMP |

| Message | OOC: dont tell me to calm down out of character dude. You can shut the fuck up. Clearly you dont understand how the RP takes place. When introducing the bill, you ideally are to set up wording which would be in the text of a document, not quotes of someone speaking...... The speaking aspect is done under the BIG BLACK WORDS that say DEBATE. Its not my fault you dont know what you are doing. Secondly, id like you to re read what I wrote originally, and tell me what needs to be "calmed down" I simply let him know out of character how the game is played. It makes the experience more enjoyable for everyone. What doesnt make the game enjoyable is when someone like yourself removes themself from the element of the game and tells me what to do. especially when that person apparently has no idea how to RP in this context. |

| Message | OOC: Wow, I think you both need to calm down. And SMP, FP is right about one thing. The discussion is where you can have your speeches but an actual bill is a written document. The legislation does not include the discussion. However, technically we shouldn't use "We believe," "This is why," or any arguments at all in the Bill. If the bill is going become legislation it shouldn't include discussion. You should never see legislation having a view on itself. Apart from that, we agree on this bill. If the parliament doesn't accept article two, we would be happy to support Article one. |

| Message | OOC - Damn.... Such long sentences for nothing.... there, I removed the quotes. FP you just made a ton of fuss about nothing... think of the writen part of the bill as introduction and not the actual bill, the actual bill shall be the actual proposals. |
