Details
Submitted by[?]: Partito Nazionale Democratico
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 4346
Description[?]:
| Paolo Vespa-Baldassare, Minister of Internal Affairs, The election campaign is a reflection of the political climate in such democratic nations like Istalia. And, like in a football match, the more money is involved the more entertaining and spectacular it is - with more people becoming engaged in politics as they see more banners, more TV ads, more debates and more public appearances of the contestants. This is only possible with the increased money supply hence we propose to the chamber to allow public funding and donations. A vote in favor of this is a vote in favor of a spectacular campaign! Thank you |

Proposal[?] to change Public financing of political campaigns

| Message | Sultan Karamanli, Leader of LP: "Mr Speaker, the exponents of PNI with their embarassing statements are showing all their limitation in thinking on the conseguences of their proposals. The politics IS NOT A FOOTBALL MATCH! It is not something on which you can invest or on which you can bet! It is embarassing how PNI and this Government considers the RES PUBLICA, how they think to do politics. This measure will favorite just only the largest party and the one with the best knowledge of people. This bill will generate a unacceptable and UNDEMOCRATIC preminence of the parties with more funds undermining the possibilities to increase their visibility for the smallest ones. And it is really embarassing also to see the PCI vote in favor of this elitistic measure!" |

| Random fact: The people in your nation don't like inactive parties. When you often abstain from voting for a bill, they will dislike your party and your visibility to the electorate will decrease significantly. Low visibility will means you are likely to lose seats. So keep in mind: voting Yes or No is always better than Abstaining. |
