Bill: P.d.l 03/4365 Public Degeneracy Act
Details
Submitted by[?]: Partito Nazionale Democratico
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: August 4370
Description[?]:
| Aurora Adorinda, AI Leader, The Istalia per valori coalition was founded to stop the deprivation of morality in our great nation. This act is fundamental in this party's policy as we believe these so called public freedoms have gone too far. Hence, this bill should show our decent citizrens who is on their side of morals and ethics, and who is against them, on the side of indecency and immorality. This bill will be the beacon of this party's policy in the next legislature as we have been so focused on the economy that we closed a blind eye on all the fundamentally wrong acts being permitted in our country. In the previous government, we have even been allies with a party which promotes this lack of values, which is still possible as long as they respect the sentiment of the population. |
