Bill: Infrastructure Reform
Details
Submitted by[?]: Noble Party
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 4352
Description[?]:
| With the resurgence of capitalist parties in the politics of Vanuku, we wish to propose a reform to the country's infrastructure. As the People's Freedom Party we fight for minimum government interference, however we believe certain goods and services cannot be left to the free market, and therefore propose to privatize certain aspects of our nation's infrastructure while maintaining limited government control. |
