Bill: Tom Rand Compromise of Solentian Industry and Energy

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[?]:

We do not, but making society less socialized seems logical. This is indeed a compromise because instead of the LPS preference of no government involvement in industry, we allow for some." ~Tom Rand, Grassroots Outreach Director of the LPS and Minister of Trade and Industry |

| Date | 20:23:36, March 22, 2015 CET | From | SUN | To | Debating the Tom Rand Compromise of Solentian Industry and Energy |
| Message | If the LPS was interested in compromise, they would have put up for vote those parts of this bill that other parties like. The LPS Party is deceptive and hypocritical. |

| Message | Why do all LPS bills which confain a word 'compromise' always get voted down by all other parties? Philip Crawford |
| Date | 18:21:54, March 23, 2015 CET | From | Free Democratic Party | To | Debating the Tom Rand Compromise of Solentian Industry and Energy |
| Message | "Listen, these compromise bills aren't the traditional view of compromise. They are radical steps towards freedom that combine components that some parties have previously agreed on. We are seeing who will latch on to our freedom and libertarian ideas, and we are looking for ways to get some of our plans through. If we think no one will accept it, then why would we title it compromise? We understand the SDP's vote on this, as they are just following their principles. This bill contains article 3 which is capitalistic, article 2 which is federalistic, and article 1 which is skepticism." ~Donny Kennedy, Secondary Chairman of the LPS |

| Message | "Not the traditional view of compromise meaning...not compromise at all? A dictionary for Mr. Kennedy please!" Astryd Goldsea, Unionist Leader |
