Bill: Farming reform
Details

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[?]:
| We think that the limitation of pesticides the farmers can use it's a distortion of the market. A famer should use every pesticide he wants on his own food and it's in his right to sell that food to the public, who can choose if buy that product or not reading the chemicals on the listing. Also, GMO are now an accepted reality and has no sense to show everytime they are used. - Werner Achterop, President of the NP |

| Random fact: The influence a bill has on elections decreases over time, until it eventually is no longer relevant. This can explain shifts in your party's position to the electorate and your visibility. |
| Random quote: "Colonialism or imperialism, as the slave system of the West is called, is not something that is just confined to England or France or the United States. The interests in this country are in cahoots with the interests in France and the interests in Britain. It's one huge complex or combine, and it creates what's known not as the American power structure or the French power structure, but an international power structure. This international power structure is used to suppress the masses of dark-skinned people all over the world and exploit them of their natural resources." Malcolm X |
