Bill: Liberalisation of the Economy - 3553
Details
Submitted by[?]: Great National Republican Guard
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: September 3553
Description[?]:
The Communists and those darn Liberals blocked this bill in the past. I appeal to the members of this chamber, as an economic technocrat, to pass this bill. Lodamun's economy cannot remain fully government-controlled. Let us retain control of some key areas to prevent exploitation, while allowing privatization in other areas. |
