Bill: National Anthem Change Debate
Details
Submitted by[?]: Cosmopolitan Party
Status[?]: passed
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: April 4221
Description[?]:
| Currently, the national anthem of Malivia invokes twice the mention of a religion, via the words "God" and "Lord." The Cosmopolitan Party wishes to change this. We view this as an atrocity for a nation that claims religious freedom/independence. Simply, the proposal seeks to gauge the opinion of the other member of Parliament in regards to changing these controversial lyrics, though they are a part of a historically important piece of Malivian culture. |
Proposals
Article 1
Proposal[?] to change The lyrics of the national anthem.
Old value:: Rise, O Voices of Malivia Rise, O voices of Malivia, God may we Thy bounty share. Give us strength to face all danger, And where challenge is, to dare. Guide us, Lord, to wise decision, Ever of Thy grace aware, Oh, let our hearts beat bravely always For this land within Thy care. Rise, O voices of Malivia, Bringing her your proud acclaim, Grandly echoing through the mountains, Rolling o'er the far flung plain. Roaring in the mighty rivers, Joining in one grand refrain, Ascending to the sunlit heavens, Telling of her honoured name.
Current:
| Thou art the ruler of the minds of all people, dispenser of Malivia's destiny. Thy name rouses the hearts of Bhulkandra, Dendhadrash and Idhaghra, of the Washebar and Walkaunar and Hitam. It echoes in the winds of the Malivy Islands, mingles in the music of Auroria and Constantium and is chanted by the waves of the Malivian Sea. They pray for thy blessings and sing thy praise. The saving of all people waits in thy hand, thou dispenser of Malivia's destiny. Victory, victory, victory to thee. Day and night thy voice goes out from province to province, Calling the Gerajans, Daenists, Akalis and Wains round thy throne and the Hosians, Ahmadis and Rasezanians. The northern mainland and the southern Islands join hands in their prayer to thee, and the garland of love is woven. Thou bringest the hearts of all people into the harmony of one life, thou dispenser of Malivia's destiny. Victory, victory, victory to thee. |
Proposed:
| Rise, O Voices of Malivia Rise, O voices of Malivia, Plentiful thy people's bounty share Give us strength to face all danger, And where challenge is, to dare. Guide us, Malivia, to wise decision, Ever of Thy poise aware, Oh, let our hearts beat bravely always For this land within Thy care. Rise, O voices of Malivia, Bringing her your proud acclaim, Grandly echoing through the mountains, Rolling o'er the far flung plain. Roaring in the mighty rivers, Joining in one grand refrain, Ascending to the sunlit heavens, Telling of her honoured name. |
