Bill: Republican Party 'Manifesto for Change' - Part 2
Details
Submitted by[?]: Zhtál-Merlkai Tjarziprta
Status[?]: defeated
Votes: This bill asks for an amendement to the Constitution. It will require two-thirds of the legislature to vote in favor. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: July 4347
Description[?]:
| Mr Speaker, The inability of the government coalition to agree on policy is further proof that this nation is being badly managed and in the hands of those who seek nothing more than holding on to positions of power. They do not believe in democracy; they do believe that one unelected man should be the sole authority. We must end this autocracy now! Gus De Smet Republican Party Leader |
