Bill: Administrative Revolution Act of 3506
Details
Submitted by[?]: Workers' Popular Alliance
Status[?]: defeated
Votes: This bill asks for an amendement to the Constitution. It will require two-thirds of the legislature to vote in favor. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: April 3507
Description[?]:
| In the past, the WPA with other worker allies managed to establish a proletarian dictatorship in Hutori, and end the ongoing class-struggles and oppression exercised by the ruling capitalist classes. Hutori was well under way in transforming into a society of equality, brotherhood and prosperity. This progress was, sadly, halted by the forces of capitalism and religious fanaticism. Today, Hutori is reverting to its old, feudal ways, as the capitalist threat has been allowed to flourish. We are ashamed at our own indifference to this development, and ashamed that we did not fight hard enough to stop it. From this day forward, however, Hutori shall be set back on the right track, and we will begin the work of creating our own paradise, here and now. Therefore, I call on all red comrades to endorse this act, so that we once again may bring the power back into the hands of the workers! |

| Message | While I support any move towards equality, the sole purpose of this bill is to establish a totalitarian government. By proposing such a bill, the Worker's Popular Alliance evidently seeks to emulate the old communist dictators like Stalin or Mao and restrict the freedoms of the very workers they claim to support. |
| Date | 19:55:59, June 27, 2013 CET | From | Workers' Popular Alliance | To | Debating the Administrative Revolution Act of 3506 |
| Message | Mr Speaker, We are deeply saddened by the fact that our leftist brothers in the ULF will not support this highly needed bill. It becomes ever more clear that there are only two parties in this nation which truly support the proletariat. As for the closeted neo-liberals of the MSP, we shall give no comment on their ludicrous allegations. |

| Message | Perhaps, having seen the tyranny of the parties of the so called "proletariat", the people of our grand nation have chosen to reject a backslide into totalitarianism. |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, The Front's ancestors hundreds of years ago began administrative changes to Hutori, and it led to an electoral disaster. There is simply too much evidence to suggest that keeping the formalities of this nation as-is is the smarter thing to do. This is not a matter of being left or right. Because of it's history, we are staunchly opposed to Articles 1, 2, and 4. We are willing to negotiate on 3 and 5. |

When the architects of our republic wrote the magnificent words of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence, they were signing a promissory note to which every American was to fall heir. This note was a promise that all men, yes, black men as well as white men, would be guaranteed the unalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness." - Martin Luther King Jr. |
