Bill: Defence of the Realm Act
Details
Submitted by[?]: Democratic People's Movement
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: February 4184
Description[?]:
| It is about time the government began to fulfil their most important duty- protection of citizens- properly. How can we possibly hope to overcome our enemies with such a flimsy military arrangement? As part of this bill, I encourage the Finance Minster to increase spending on defence by between 15 and 35%. Kathleen Wiley National Party President |
