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.

Description[?]:
| Individual point of view is essential in art and history, not only for people to see events from different perspectives but also to allow different people from different classes to express themselves and to have a say. If government subsides art and museums and libraries what people will learn from art and history is what the government wants them to learn. People will be afraid to stand aggainst the government fearing they will loose subsides and space in their territory, so what we´ll be left is what the government wants the population to see and learn, thats also called manipulatuon. |
