Bill: Censorship
Details
Submitted by[?]: Kanjoran Imperial 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: April 2157
Description[?]:
| Our government is doing such a good job at running the country that criticism will only be extraneous and destructive. Anyways, the current law contravenes an organization meant to stop government criticism. If this bill is passed, a new body, The Censorship Commission, will decide what is or is what is not hate speech. The head of this commission will be chosen in another bill. |
