Bill: Moderation of Social Laws
Details
Submitted by[?]: Freeborn Luthorians/Freeborn Coalition
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.
Voting deadline: September 4060
Description[?]:
| While many can view our social laws as overly positive we believe some need to be moved closer to the Centre on the scale, we wish not to upset the Falanges but we believe that some of the reforms they passed went to far, and some laws need reform that they never touched. We hope this is a fair compromise for all government parties who couldn't agree to begin with. |
