Bill: FP Manifesto Part 1: Isolation
Details
Submitted by[?]: Freedom 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: March 2157
Description[?]:
| In light of recent events in the world, in recognition of the threat imposed to us. To protect Rutania, we propose the following measures 1. No citizen of our country shall be extradited to be tried by another nation's courts. 2. We will not recognise marriages that are not in line with our policies, be they arranged marriages, underage ones or others 3. Allowing everyone to reside in the nation can mean that they can claim the benefits here without contributing to society, due to the minimum income law, this will happen. We do not agree, we should accept all people coming here to contribute and enhance society but not those who wont. 4. The government will not take money away from our people and hand it over to other countries people without their consent, no more forced charity. 5. Refugees are welcome but no additional financial aid shall be given, they are welcome, thus they can take the minimum income that other Rutanians get. We feel these are a coherent isolationist programme for Rutania and will benefit our nation at the present time. This is part 1 of our manifesto to the public, we hope they support. |
