Bill: A stronger military but within reason
Details
Submitted by[?]: Social Democratic Legend Party
Status[?]: passed
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: May 3166
Description[?]:
| 1) this is simply for protection of our people in case of disaster. 2) doesn't it make sense to give the decision to the people on the front line who understand the situation? 3) this will work to forge a more socially responsible population as opposed to the layabout generations of today. 4) nuclear arms are terrible and horrific but sometimes there may come a day when it is the last resort to save innocents so the least we can do is only attack those responsible as it is not the fault of average citizens. 5) it is better for international relations, as well as our own security, if we export arms to our allies but only if we approve it. |
