Bill: Constitutional Reform Law
Details
Submitted by[?]: Sunrise Party 해돋이당
Status[?]: defeated
Votes: This bill asks for an amendement to the Constitution. It will require two-thirds of the legislature to vote in favor. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: November 4195
Description[?]:
| The Country is facing a constitutional crisis, and it is imperative that order is restored! Thereby I propose we combine the head of government and head of state offices into one office, and allow the President to appoint his cabinet. This way we can prevent socialist Hijacking of the government! I also propose we slash the salaries of the MLCs and the Cabinet until order is restored and give more freedom to local governments to implement reform! -Sung Joo-Wong-Member of NCP, and leader of the Radical Nationalist caucus |

| Message | Mr Sung, I am afraid that some of us must respectfully disagree with your stance on this bill as it would cause a lot of harm to the party..in fact many of your stances I believe are doing much, though, unintended harm to our party, but I have not voiced an opinion til now out of respect and to avoid jeopardizing party unity. However this bill, I feel is too far. I urge my fellows to vote no on this bill. Signed Jeong-Ho Sung-Ho-Leader of the Liberal faction in the National Conservative Party |

| Message | Mr Speaker, isn't it ironic that the NCP is now expressing concern about public order after having deliberately whipped up ethnofascist sentiments to incite a climate of impending civil war? The proposals comprised in this bill are a distraction from the fact that the NCP, and indeed the PAP, oppose a public monopoly on law enforcement and thus call the very existence of our liberal-democratic political system into question. Guillermo Cambeiro MLC Minister of Internal Affairs |
