Details

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: April 4457
Description[?]:
| Mr. Speaker, As the party of Saint Jeanna de Tugart, we are passionately committed to upholding Alduria as a Hosian nation founded on Hosian values. However, the current religious laws are far too draconian, denying our citizens their basic freedoms. If religion is to be truly embraced, then it needs to be embraced freely and consciously. You cannot convert a person to true religion through the use of force. Charles de Tugart Chairman of the Canrillaise Parti National |

| Random fact: By default the head of government is the ultimate authority within a national government. In general terms, heads of government are expected to consult with cabinet colleagues (including those from other parties) before making significant decisions but they remain responsible for government action. |
