Details
Submitted by[?]: Ḥizb Al-Ḥurriya wa Al-’Adala
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: March 3291
Description[?]:
| Mr Speaker, It is an outrage that we legislate against the liberties of our brothers and sisters. While we respect that in Kafuristan we are currently an Islamic State, we would like to change this as we do not feel that it best represents the interests of our citizens who demand freedom. Safi Abd-al-Aziz Muhammad Freedom and Justice |
