Bill: Prefectural Devolution Act
Details
Submitted by[?]: Union of Work-Shy Elements
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: February 2175
Description[?]:
| Devolution to the prefectures of Kundrati is essential on the basis that it will aid in bringing governance closer to the people in these places. Such a need is glaringly apparent, since the populations of these areas (in particular Jildrath) feel increasingly detached from the Kasaema government (largely because of the communistic policies of successive left-wing governments). Any suggestion that we are attempting to undermine the national existence of Kundrati, is of course nonsense. |
