Bill: Peace & Preservation Bill
Details
Submitted by[?]: Rubbish Party
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: July 4247
Description[?]:
| I believe we must become a more peaceful nation to preserve our beautiful landscape. This is something which my party and I have discussed thoroughly and we have come to the conclusion that the beautiful Mordusia should try its best to not be involved in war or conflict. I believe these steps could give us peace and encourage other nations to come together once and for all. I believe that we should all try and preserve Terra in all its beauty without the use of nuclear weapons or land mines. |

| Message | This bill does the opposite of what the title states. It leaves us defenseless and open for attack. Our nuclear arsenal is required to maintain our MAD policy and history shows that MAD is extremely effective in maintaining peace. |
| Date | 23:58:23, July 25, 2017 CET | From | Mordusia First! | To | Debating the Peace & Preservation Bill |
| Message | We will never support a bill that leaves our nation's security vulnerable to an attack. This is not going to promote peace and preservation it is going to promote terrorism and military weakness. Camden Brady Chancellor of Mordusia |
