Details
Submitted by[?]: Liberale Volkspartei
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 3583
Description[?]:
Herr Präsident, while overall Hulstria's economy is doing well, several sectors are excluded from this prosperity due to superfluous regulations which have long been abolished in other fields of business but continue to keep outdated structures alive on the issues we wish to draw your attention to. These price controls, state-enforced monopolies and corporate welfare schemes are obsolete and should be scrapped for the sake of our economic well-being as a country. Janina Stadtmann, MdR LVP-Budenlar Klubobfrau der Liberalen |

Message | Herr Präsident, The Hosian Democrats are all about a smaller government that unleashes the potential inherent in society. Though we still have reservations about the deregulation of the energy sector, we do wish to signal our support for the rest of the package, which would still support the weakest in society but, especially in this mobile phone age, give them a choice as to whether they want to save on a landline. We do wish to note, however, that we read article 3 in such a way that it is a statement of the ordinary course of government. In extraordinary circumstances, such as the banking crisis that occurred in the 35th century, we would still prefer investing, even nationalising, failing companies rather than risk damage to our economy. Klaus Marlberg, MdR Klubobmann der Hosianisch-Demokraten |
