Bill: Marriage Act of November 4225
Details
Submitted by[?]: National Front
Status[?]: defeated
Votes: This bill proposes the withdrawal from a treaty. It will require half of the legislature to vote in favor[?]. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: January 4227
Description[?]:
| In order to stop in its tracks the left-wing menace of the present day, we must first of all act to restore faith in our social values, and enshrine in law the idea that the human race has always existed a certain way, and that to do otherwise is a disgusting perversion of the natural order. Needless to say, probably the main culprit contributing to our nation's fall from grace would be our damning marriage and adoption laws, which encourage poor parenting, and directly contravene traditional societal values which our party, and so many other Beluzians, praise and encourage. We have said this before, and we shall say it again: we must act now. Disaster is on the horizon if we do not act now, and if we do not act decisively. |
