Bill: Executions Act 4232
Details
Submitted by[?]: Socialist-Modernist Alliance
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 4232
Description[?]:
| Currently executions are legal. Worse still, they are public, violating the human rights of even the most notorious criminal. We do not believe capital punishment is necessary unless the crime is terrorism, treason or a crime against mankind.. Instead, for the sake of human rights, rehabilitation puts non-serious convicts on the right road, with lifetime prison sentences the worst sentence for that kind of crime. |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, I like to watch when traitors get shot in the head. I want to know what it looks like when a traitor falls to the ground.

| Message | Mr. Speaker, You are absolutely vile. I cannot understand how people enjoy watching suffering. Keeping this law is absolutely key to having an uncivilised nation. As for your freedom of information, why do you not let citizens have basic freedom while you have all of them? Andrien Miglay, Leader of the SMA |
