Bill: Foreign relations reform act of 3872
Details
Submitted by[?]: National Liberal 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: May 3873
Description[?]:
At the Green Party, we are internationalist. We believe in free, open trade that will be beneficial against the economy. There are some parties in Beluzia, that believe that we can somehow cut ourselves off from the rest of the world, and still have the same economic prosperity. This is wrong. This bill focuses on enhancing the trade between the nations of Terra. |

Message | This is bad for our Beluzian workforce as it encourages outsourcing to foreign nations with less human rights than we have. We don't want the nation to participate in this international "race to the bottom" and thus, will not support this bill. |
