Bill: Platform of the Republican Party
Details
Submitted by[?]: Republican Party of Aloria
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 3121
Description[?]:
| Federalism- Lets devolves more issues to the provinces so as to have a leaner, more efficient federal government. The people of Sildar know what is best for them, as do the people of the other provinces, and what works in one place may not work so well in another. Religion- Aloria has a religion, and the Church of Aloria ought to be recognized as such. No one need be required to worship in anyway, as Aloria should remain a country tolerant of all religions, and as such we should have no laws regulating religious expressions. Social Conservatism- we shouldn't subsidize birth control, or allow euthanasia, period. Economic Liberalism- clarification on article 5- we don't want to subsidize any business that fails, what we propose is that if the industry is necessary and faces bankruptcy, rather then nationalize, we should provide a loan to it and keep it in the private sector. |

| Message | Absolutely not. We agree with some points, but most of this proposal is complete backwardness. If this is what the Republican Party of Aloria has to offer, then it might as well change it's name to ''Regressive Party of Aloria''. |
