Bill: Justice Reform
Details
Submitted by[?]: Cobdenist Party
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: February 2197
Description[?]:
| Curfew Laws are unneccessary, and a limit to people's freedom Someone from our nation who commits a crime abroad should not be able to simply flee to our country to escape the consequences I cannot see any harm in gated communities, myself, as long as the Government doesn't have to pay for them Whilst the Cobdenist's are a strong free-market party, we feel the money should not be an issue when it comes to legal representation, and it is neccessary for true justice to take place What's the harm in letting prisoners work if they want to? It'll keep them active, and may even help the further skills that can be of use outside of Prison |
