Bill: Defence Reform Act of January 4226
Details
Submitted by[?]: National Front
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: January 4227
Description[?]:
| It is absolutely essential that we take necessary steps toward rebuilding Beluzia's armed forces, and restore the moral integrity of our nation. If we are to be absolutely honest about our current situation, then we must say that the Beluzian armed forces are currently not fulfilling their potential. We intend to change this. We urge other parties to enact these reforms so as to ensure that we remain one step ahead of our opponents, and that we are not at a serious disadvantage should we ever come to blows with another nation. |

| Message | With the recent rise in Nationalist parties in Beluzia calling for centralization of the government and a restriction of liberties, we believe that it is paramount we remember the ideals we were built on as a Nation, our origins are that of liberation. While these reforms to the military suggested by the National Front offer some benefit, they noticeably constrict the privately owned Military services (Be it manufacturing or other associated industries) and also go against multiple national treaties that Beluzia has agreed to Admiral Kevin C.
