Bill: Devolution Act

Details

Submitted by[?]: Pnték Znkak Prta 'Bastardry'

Status[?]: passed

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: May 2198

Description[?]:

We cannot allow this centralised stranglehold over the populace to continue. As representatives of the people we should act to ensure that we serve the wishes of as many of them as possible. Does it not stand to reason?

MessageAs deplorable as some of these rights retractions may seem, we must give local governments the right to choose for themselves as we have smothered our nation with in the years gone by. So as the more conversative regions can choose to restrict themselves, the liberal regions can free themselves of restrict, whilst all being covered in the blanket of a Pontesi that cares for its people, grants them a better chance to live happily, and if their region fails them, they can always elect to move to one that suits them more. Our democratic Pontesi must be eponymous, and not a despotism in disguise as proposed by some, a Robin Hood society as proposed by others, or a money-above-workers society as one region will be sure to object. We must let them choose what they desire of the choices all of our parties, however different, contradicting or opposed, choose to present to them in their regions.

ToDebating the Devolution Act
MessageBy no means does the policy of Cynical Bastards ourselves condemn all of the previous decisions by devolving them, but by all means we seek to bring all of them into the hands of our local governments for them to decide upon.

MessageThe GCP opposes this bill. We feel that many of these right should be available to all citizens regardless of where they live and are too important to be left to regional governments.

FromLabour Party
ToDebating the Devolution Act
MessageWe oppose this as it may undo much of the legislation currently in effect to the detriment of the country. We should strive for civic unity, not split Pontesi up into autonomous blocs. There is a place for devolution in some areas, but this goes too far.

ToDebating the Devolution Act
MessageOnce again, the CBP is trying to split Pontesi and fracture our national unity. We will aggressively fight this bill.

From Pnték Znkak Prta 'Bastardry'
ToDebating the Devolution Act
MessageThis is only because the selfish acts of the other parties want to shape the entire country to their way of thinking and aren't prepared to accept that whilst some will support them, regional variance of opinion will prevent their grossly generalised and simple minded dreams from becoming manifestations. This bill will help you achieve your ideals in some areas so long as you have the cranial capacity to admit that not everyone thinks as your party leader does. Anyone may seek to rule the world but only a foolhardy idiot will believe that they will have the support of the entire populace - trying to succeed in blanketing a nation with one mantra for millions of minds will not find favour with the people; doing this in the supposed name of the people under the label of a "democratic society" is a laughably flawed ambition. "By the people, for the people" and yet against the people. For shame.

FromLibertarian Party
ToDebating the Devolution Act
MessageThe Libertarian party's only response to this bill is that changes to many areas of the law combined in a single bill with no opportunity to vote for or reject specific articles should be discouraged. While there are some things the Libertarian party agrees with, there are many things that the Libertarian party does not wish to introduce into law.
