Bill: Military Reform
Details
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: August 4036
Description[?]:
| The Military, being a very important part of the nations safety and image, needs some modern day, common sense reforms that will continue to grow us as the best nation in the World. - Land mines are inhumane, dangerous and are known to cause major injury to civilians. - There is no reason to discriminate in any way inside the military or inside the government. If homosexuals are allowed in the military there should be no reason that varying religions cannot co-exist for the purpose of protecting the nation. - Bio and Chemical weapons have their place but their place is not in civilian areas. Much like Land Mines, it is highly dangerous to innocent people and the existence of a strong military and even paramilitary gives us options when we need to engage in Civilian areas. |

| Message | RZP despises these bills where there are multiple conflicting issues at play. There is no connection between discrimination in the military and policies regrding land mines and biological weapons. RZP will be forced to abstain from this bill, as our party's policies both agree and conflict with this legislation in different articles. |

| Random fact: By default the head of government is the ultimate authority within a national government. In general terms, heads of government are expected to consult with cabinet colleagues (including those from other parties) before making significant decisions but they remain responsible for government action. |
