Details

Description[?]:
| The HKP, while firmly believing that people should be allowed to take responsibility for their own private lives, feel that a mandatory public pension is a sensible thing for Hobrazia. After all, without it we run the risk of having old people that has to work themselves into the grave or live out the rest of their lives in poverty. That, we believe, weighs heavier in this matter. A mistake is easy to make, and reckless acts can haunt a person for the rest of his or her life; we feel that one simple law can hinder a lot of potential suffering and we urge our fellow parties to consider this act for the well-being of the Hobrazian citizens. |

| Message | When drafting the bill to change the law into what it currently is we were torn between these two options. If the other parties find the current proposal also to be fair it will have our support. |

| Message | Obviously we find no great joy in telling our voters, the people on whose orders we govern this great nation, how to live their lives. But we feel that when it comes to economic matters, mistakes have to potential to be disastrous, and there should be a buffer that's not always possible to attain by yourself. |
