Date | 14:47:57, September 12, 2018 CET | From | Liberty Party | To | Debating the Economic Liberalization Act (4453) - LP |
Message | Despite strong efforts in recent years by Liberty and other moderate parties to curtail direct governmental control over the economy we find the tentacles of state continue to suffocate people's lives. We therefore submit, in keeping with our stated policy of glasnost, that the state by removed from decision making and that our economy is opened up significantly to new investment opportunities which would benefit all Beluzians. |

Random fact: It is the collective responsibility of the players in a nation to ensure all currently binding RP laws are clearly outlined in an OOC reference bill in the "Bills under debate" section of the nation page. Confusion should not be created by displaying only some of the current RP laws or displaying RP laws which are no longer current. |
