Submitted by[?]: Genuine Progress Alliance
Status[?]: defeated

Voting deadline: July 3143
Description[?]:
| This bill aims to increase the retirement age from 65 to 70. This shall apply to all forms of employment, except for elective posts in the government, such as President and MPs. We believe that the right time for our elderly workers to enjoy their work-free life should be at 70. Sixty-five is still a relatively young age, and most workers in this age still show signs of capability to work. Also, recent medical advancement has allowed individuals to increase one's life expectancy and, as such, make them capable of working for a few more years. Elective government posts are exempted from this act in order to give way to the people's constitutional right to hold to office and to play an active role in shaping their government. |

| Random fact: In cases where a party has no seat, the default presumption should be that the party is able to contribute to debates in the legislature due to one of its members winning a seat at a by-election. However, players may collectively improvise arrangements of their own to provide a satisfying explanation for how parties with no seats in the legislature can speak and vote there. |
