Details

Description[?]:
| September 4382 Presidente de la República Françisquita de Santa Cruz rises to address the Congress. "We thank the Social Democrats for their attempts to negotiate a ceasefire (see here http://classic.particracy.net/viewbill.php?billid=565719 ) between all parties in Egelion. The government, following the last election, has decided to put forward the following offer to end the conflict. The terms that the government proposes are as follows • There is to be an immediate general ceasefire across the entire country. • Communist militias will withdraw from all urban areas. • A multiparty government will be formed, with all parties involved, excluding the Communists (as an armed anti-government group). • Early elections to be called immediately upon passage of this proposal • The government will disband the paramilitary Civil Guard. In return the Communists and their associated militias must completely disarm. • The Police will be reformed and recent militarisation (conducted in response to Communist terrorism) will be ended and reversed. The Police will be civilianised once again, with only elite units retaining military weapons and certain interrogation techniques stopped. • Once the Communists have disarmed they will be invited to join the government. • The Communist Party will desist from threatening violence any time a Bill is passed that they dislike. • The number of Congressmen will be raised from 121 (inc. one speaker) to 123 (inc. 2 deputy speakers)." The President sits down to much applause from the government benches. Head of Government Nicolás Encarnación elicits the following. In order for this to pass, all parties within Congress must accept (if either the Liga (ie the government) or the Communists (ie the second faction in the civil war) reject the proposal then the war continues). Ooc: Ironically the actual cause of the conflict (the Liga threat to remove communists from government positions) will end when this bill - http://classic.particracy.net/viewbill.php?billid=565998 - passes in October 4382. |

| Random fact: When you join the game, you will find yourself with only zero seats. That's because your party's representatives haven't been elected yet. You need to establish your party's position on issues by proposing several bills that your party wants passed and sending them to vote. This raises your visibility and if you do it enough, you will win seats at the next election. |
