Description[?]:
| We hereby put forward the re-voting of a previous bill the CUP put forward some time ago and we hope that it is passed this time. A1) Government is forbidden from seizing and forcefully taking control of any private firm for Pro-Government reasons (e.g. Secret Service, Propaganda) this is to prevent corruption and the destruction of our economy. Allowing this cripples the chances of businesses starting up and further hurting our economy and can force businesses out as they may fear for their property and assets. A2) Government subsidies research for Renewable Energy sources. We all know fuels for our nation will eventually run out, so what better why to postpone the inevitable than to take a step in making sure renewable sources of energy are modern, efficient and better than nuclear reactors (maybe). Yes it'll cost a pretty penny, but we'll be saving the lives of our children and their children if the bill is successful. A3) The train companies for too long have been under the control of the government, which in my opinion is a negative to the economy. I declare that we should split the national train company into Private company sectors to help improve the economy and reliability. This'll help cut government spending on infrastructure and put a few extra pennies into the pocket of the nation. A4) We should not prevent families living on the streets, but we must not allow a full state housing system to exist either. So I propose a small change which allows private Real Estates to exist and the government can finance them for low-income families if they request it. This'll allow for our economy to improve while keeping our socialist friends up in government happy. |
