Bill: Stricter Political Ethics Bill
Details
Submitted by[?]: Social Libermuns Party
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: January 3718
Description[?]:
| Bolstered by the debate on Article 1 of the Civil Service Reform*, we wish to put in place a strict procedure for political ethics. The SLP has suspicions on whether our governmental system is corrupt in respects to political bias. The ability to court our political parties and employees is disgraceful, and we wish to correct this. This extends to the employment of paramilitaries groups in our nations defence and their use to secure political parties. Those laws seem incredibly shady to us. *Reference link: http://classic.particracy.net/viewbill.php?billid=415310 |
