Details
Submitted by[?]: Commonwealth Workers Army
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: June 2189
Description[?]:
The coalition of Ashkenaz ben Adamah, and former PSS rabble-rouser Byron Whiteflag, in the upper echelons of the AM AAP, has caused something of a 'revolutionary' change of direction for the party. As consequence of which, the AM AAP proposes the following legislation: The 'state religion' and 'recognised religion' categories, are assumed to refer to the "Likatonian Norse Church", the "Sacred Order of the Tears of Termani", and the "Likatonian Orthodox Assembly". The 'permitted' foreign religion is the church of "Tuesday Is Coming". |
