Bill: Stability Act - 4138
Details
Submitted by[?]: Great National Republican Guard
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: September 4138
Description[?]:
| In the interest of maintaining Lodamese Nationalism, we need to enact this legislation. In consistency with other laws, the doctrines of Lodamese Nationalism - which are the official doctrines of the state - shall determine the death penalty. The President will decide when to apply or to not apply the penalty, and maintain the ability to intervene in judicial matters. Only religions that are approved by the state will have their ministers paid by the state, based on how many citizens register as members of each religion. We will make arrangements with the Indralan Embassy to have remuneration for ministers of Indralan religions in Lodamun, which are followed by the Indralan diaspora that resides in Lodamun. |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, Liberalism is the antithesis of Democracy. I wonder why Porter Calvin calls his party a Lodamese Nationalist party when it shows no demonstration that it accepts or understands Lodamese Nationalism. -- Cletus Barlow, Chairman of the GNRG, President of 2 GDR Lodamun |

| Message | Mr Speaker, We must clarify that we are largely an economically liberal party. Our aim is to support policies making the economy more efficient. We merely feel that this bill goes too far. We would support the bill without Article 3. -- LNLP Party Leader Porter Calvin |
