Bill: CDV Manifesto: Maintaining our prosperity
Details
Submitted by[?]: Hosianisch-Demokratisches Verbund
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: November 3294
Description[?]:
| (OOC: visibility) Ad 2: Regulations on energy companies are desirable to ensure continued provision of this vital utility, but we believe they are better determined on the local level. Ad 3: We believe that for Hulstria's economy to grow even stronger, we need to encourage both foreign and domestic investment in equal measure. Certain industries will still be protected because they are vital to our national interests. (OOC: Alas, that's not in the variables!) Ad 4: We believe in an economy run in close cooperation with the social partners (employers and trade unions), and trust them to handle issues of working conditions in a tripartite Social-Economic Council. Ad 6: In order to ensure that minority groups feel like they're treated fairly, we must appreciate that local circumstances may demand some sort of equal opportunities policy. We will give them the right to set that. |
