Bill: Cabinet: Room For Industry Act
Details
Submitted by[?]: National-Socialist Lodamun Workers Party
Status[?]: passed
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: November 4427
Description[?]:
| The ministers of Defence, Science & Technology and, Environment & Tourism have come together to see how they can aid the development of Lodamun's Industry. None of the articles are deemed highly controversial. However, article 8 requires some explanation as it should be read knowing that the National Government owns the most important parts of the military industry. Therefore, allowing private companies to sell conventional weapons will have a minimum impact on conflicts. The ministers propose the following: |

| Random fact: In cases where a party has no seat, the default presumption should be that the party is able to contribute to debates in the legislature due to one of its members winning a seat at a by-election. However, players may collectively improvise arrangements of their own to provide a satisfying explanation for how parties with no seats in the legislature can speak and vote there. |
