Message | Kirla Tea Party have some concerns about connecting these issues in one bill and labeling them as 'Decentralization' While first two are clearly power devolving - statism-> regionalism The third act is actually the opposite - individualism ->regionalism. (taking power from each person to the higher, less representative level of region) Two step forward and one backward, it seems. Virtue and Righteousness Party - please clarify, OCC: or label 'Regionalization' next time xD |

Message | Ooc: technically it's decentralizing who makes the choice of whether or not their is funding, as currently it is in the national governments preview, it's just that the national side of things has chosen not to. At least that's how I see it, but I can see some point in what your saying. |

Message | occ: Private educational institutions receive no government funding whatsoever. -national gov leaves the decission to individual people -national gov can change decission anytime -no citizen is forced into funding The funding of private schools is the responsibility of local governments. -national gov leaves the decission to regional gov -national gov can change decission anytime -citizens of regions which subsidies schools are forced to pay If this regionalization was part of constitution, it wouldn't be national decision anymore after it passes. (but thats not constitutional change, so it is centralization ... or maintaining status quo) But as it is now... You have decision to decide , or decision to decide to decide ... INCEPTION :P Freedom is illusionary :P |
