Bill: Conditional Support for the Imperial Dominions
Details
Submitted by[?]: Saiken Renmei
Status[?]: defeated
Votes: This bill presents the formation of a cabinet. It requires more than half of the legislature to vote yes. Traditionally, parties in the proposal vote yes, others (the opposition) vote no. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: January 2945
Description[?]:
| Under the threat of Gao-Showa hegemony, the NLF will support the Imperial Dominions' claim to sovereignty and offer military aid against the Eternal Harmony invasion. In exchange we demand that the Northern government refuse the request of unconditional surrender from the Eternal Harmony, accept us as ruling partner in their territory, and accept several of our key policies. We call upon all the other non-Gao-Showa parties to support us in our struggle against Fascism and Imperialism. If passed we will use our 499,000 strong NLA in defense of the Imperial Dominions. OOC: This proposal is brought before the Imperial Synod alone, so if the parties in the cabinet proposal vote for it, it will be valid for the Imperial Dominions |
