Bill: The Second Great Coalition Bill
Details
Submitted by[?]: Freedom Party
Status[?]: passed
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: December 3666
Description[?]:
| OOC: I may be running low on things to propose, that's the problem with being in power for so long, but here it goes. Back in character: We wish to hear the opinions of our coalition partner, the National Federalist Party. Ending most abortions and saving millions of children's lives is a 'holy grail' for us in the Freedom Party. We have therefore hopefully given enough ground on a vast swave of key issues to allow this bill to pass. This will go to a vote in August unless our coalition partner actively voices support before hand. |
