Bill: Decentralization of Public Services
Details
Submitted by[?]: Beluz Democratic Karavist Party
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: May 3304
Description[?]:
| Decentralization doesn't necessarily mean "small government" as a rookie would assume. Giving local governments obligations still count as being "big government" but "federalist" instead of "unitarist" which means the local governments have more responsibilities, hence "big government" status. Federalism does, however, allow local governments to range in size. Bailon, for example, would have a big local government, where child benefit is provided to all families instead of just the "low-income" or "poor" families as considered by the snobby bastards we have running our welfare system. I really do think the Williams family will appreciate article 3. |
