Details
Submitted by[?]: Lourenne D'abord
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: April 4498
Description[?]:
| Article 1: Restricting monopolies in a variety of sectors has led to lower productivity, reduced employment, and wasted economic potential. We must allow successful businesses to flourish without government interference. Article 2: It is horrifying to consider that even child pornography is accepted in this nation. We must act to ensure that not only are children not allowed to be taken advantage of in order to be used by adults in pornographic films, but also vulnerable adults. Article 3: Restricting the stock exchange of our nation stifles growth and economic prosperity. Stock markets should have the ability to operate freely. |

| Date | 20:16:56, December 09, 2018 CET | From | Pour la Justice! | To | Debating the Economic Redirection Act |
| Message | For Justice! believes in an economy which is robust and internationally competitive. Anybody with a basic understanding of economic theory recognises that allowing firms to monopolise an industry does not achieve those objectives, it leaves consumers ripped off and big business with additional profits. While we would support the privatisation of stock exchanges if presented separately, we are not willing to commit economic suicide to enable it. Kan-Xib-Yui Guil, Deputy Leader of For Justice! |
