Bill: Pacification Act
Details
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: October 2160
Description[?]:
| If we want to live in peace, and we have no plans of conquest, why we should permit the use of nuclear bombs and chimic warfare for any reason? We should permit them only in extreme circustances, for defence or when there is no other means of survival. I would like to ban them altogether, but at least we should prohibit them for offensive purposes, for the good of our citizens. |
