Bill: Nuclear Weapons Act of November 3957
Details
Submitted by[?]: Labour Party
Status[?]: passed
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: July 3958
Description[?]:
| We believe that our current policy on nuclear weapons is dangerously outdated. A majority of nations at least allow the use of nuclear weapons in some form, and an alarmingly high number of them allow them to be used at will without provocation. This bill would allow us to at develop and use nuclear weapons if provoked. |

| Message | Our party believes that nuclear weapons are unecessary and barbaric. We should be setting a precedent for nations around the world. We will be voting against this bill. |
| Date | 17:50:19, December 25, 2015 CET | From | Labour Party | To | Debating the Nuclear Weapons Act of November 3957 |
| Message | We cannot risk not facilitating nuclear weapons as part of our defense program. They are unfortunately a necessary party of any military: but we should consider keeping them for as long as a meaningful agreement has been reached within the international community. |
| Date | 19:56:16, December 25, 2015 CET | From | Bailonese Council Communist Party (BCCP) | To | Debating the Nuclear Weapons Act of November 3957 |
| Message | We agree with the Green Party, to add further, nuclear weapons are weapons of mass destruction and therefore cannot be used to precisely destroy an enemy without harming innocents in the process. |
| Date | 21:14:42, December 25, 2015 CET | From | Labour Party | To | Debating the Nuclear Weapons Act of November 3957 |
| Message | We cannot hope at this present time to aim for lasting peace if we do not adopt the doctrine of mutually assured destruction. If we implement this policy it is highly unlikely we would ever need a use for them: but without them we are a much easier target for more aggressive and opportunistic nations. |
