Bill: Manifesto of the Movement of Socialist Democrats
Details
Submitted by[?]: Movement of Socialist Democrats
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: August 3786
Description[?]:
| OOC: With the proposal of this manifesto, the Movement of Socialist Democrats is launched. The new party is a split from the old Socialist Party - CDS, and will be lead by Andreas Baker, the son of the original CDS founder. The abbreviation of the new party is MOSOD, or preferably just Mosod. I felt I had to explain this, especially the abbreviation part, in order to avoid any errors, like in the first years of the CDS. The practical consequences of this change is my departure from the ANC-RCP-LP coalition, and my endorsement of the ARM candidate in the next elections. I reach out a hand to the Alorian Reform Movement and the Red-Green Alliance in a bid to form a third coalition. |
