Bill: Budget proposal of July 3962
Details
Status[?]: defeated
Votes: This bill proposes to change the allocation of funds in the budget. It requires more than half of the legislature to vote yes. This bill will pass as soon as the required yes votes are in, or will be defeated if unsufficient votes are reached on the deadline.
Voting deadline: March 3963
Description[?]:
| It appears to us that no party currently has proposed a proper budget to proper address the debt issues we are currently in. Although taxes do need updating, we believe a more sensible budget is required. For a start, head of government doesn't particularly require such vast funding and defence was rather overfunded. We believe our proposed changed overall should not cause harm to the vulnerable in our society too much. |

| Message | Mr Speaker This is the Budget of the Opposition and we will of course vote against it. And we really criticize the the cuts in the Ministry of Internal Affairs as well as Ministry of Defence. I yield. |
| Date | 21:51:22, January 03, 2016 CET | From | Choice | To | Debating the Budget proposal of July 3962 |
| Message | Mr Speaker It is irrational to vote against a budget proposal because the opposition proposed it! If it's a budget that works, then it shouldn't matter who proposed it. As for criticism regarding the internal affairs and defence budgets, Internal Affairs only had very minor cuts in our proposal, and defence was rather overfunded, we are not even at serious war! Our civilians and people come first. Jason Chandler Leader of New Choice |
| Date | 21:56:25, January 03, 2016 CET | From | Liberal Alliance | To | Debating the Budget proposal of July 3962 |
| Message | Mr Speaker It is a common parliamentary procedure that HM's Government lays an own Budget and HM's Opposition, if possible, unites around an own "shadow" budget, or what you may call it. The Liberal Alliance awaits the Ministry of Finance's Cabinet Budget. I yield. |
| Date | 22:09:21, January 03, 2016 CET | From | Choice | To | Debating the Budget proposal of July 3962 |
| Message | Mr Speaker We care not for feeble traditions, this procedure hinders progress and in turn hurts the nation! Jason Chandler Leader of New Choice |
| Date | 22:35:45, January 03, 2016 CET | From | United Luthori | To | Debating the Budget proposal of July 3962 |
| Message | Mr. Speaker, Unsurprisingly, New Choice has a complete disregard for procedures, customs, the monarchy, everything Luthorian, etc. etc. etc. Now on to the budget, I must say it's absolutely disgraceful to be cutting so many vital ministries. This isn't a time for austerity, it is a time for new government involvement in the economy. We need more investment, not more austerity! Emily Buckley MD Leader of the HDU |
