Bill: Decentralization Bill
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: May 4354
Description[?]:
| We recognize cultural relativism as the theory that ideas and other norms should reflect cultural practices and traditions. It is because of this belief in cultural relativism that we vouch for the devolution of the government to local governments, who can better represent the views of all the different ethnicities that make up our population as well as better undertake tasks such as building and maintaining shelters. Local governments are a resource for us to use, there is no reason for the centralized government to try and micromanage all the proceedings within Vanuku. |
