Bill: The Preservation of Family Values Act

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: February 3421
Description[?]:
| For too long the regimes of Beluzia have laid siege to the very institution that all societies are built upon: the family.

| Message | The COUNCILS of THE BLOC as you mentioned, are the individual councils of the individual countries that are a part of the bloc. Beluzia is a bloc, not a country. Iker Ado is its own country in the bloc, and we do not believe that the bloc government should have the authority to force its members to accept such ridiculous laws. We make our own laws; it is not the responsibility of the bloc to tell us what to do. How rude of you to say that "The Councils of the Bloc must act to ensure" some crap you want to put into effect in all countries. The councils have no obligation to accept your suggestions, so do not use any word like "must" and also, you should consider the fact that each council wants to protect its own country's independence. This bill will allow the bloc government to have more power, thereby removing the powers of the individual councils. Why would the councils favour such policies? Please think before you suggest madness. -- Alexei Kaminski, Bloc Chaiman |
