Bill: Call for early elections, January 4528
Details
Submitted by[?]: Independent Freedom Alliance
Status[?]: defeated
Votes: This bill requests an early election. It requires more than half of the legislature to vote yes. This bill will pass as soon as the required yes votes are in, or will be defeated if unsufficient votes are reached on the deadline. Elections will be held immediately if the bill passes.
Voting deadline: September 4528
Description[?]:
| Hon. Members of the People's Assembly, In a democracy like ours all seats should be filled. There millions of voters not represented in our House and that is not right. For the democratic BFI this is a very important issue. Therefore, we all should support early elections by principle. Thank you, Casper Gaines (Prime Minister) Partyleader |

| Message | We should not change the data. Not now. This bill is not good, as other bills that are still being voted will be reseted. And also, despite you are right, better we wait for the conventional seats. This is not good. As such we will oppose. |

| Message | We oppose changing the data when elections are held. This is not good. We must wait until 4529 comes as it is programmed. |

| Message | Of course I'm willing to inform you and the general public about my party's motives. However, I do this publicly because the BFI has nothing to hide and is well known for its transparency. It is typical that the PLR ask me to explain ourselves on the alliance page, by the way. That's not our way of doing business in these circumstances. When 20% of the electorate is not represented in our House, something should be done. Party politics or coalition interests ends just there and new early elections are evident to the BFI. As a democratic party we stand for this principle. My party is, concerning the lack of representation, not lead by fear nor power but by democratic values. Casper Gaines (Prime Minister) Partyleader |

| Message | This things can be explained publicly as this is not about inside things of our coalition like plans, bills and stuff. As such we can talk and here about this. Debating a bill should not be something to be kept secret. I agree that we cannot afford Early Elections but agreeing is ok. |
| Date | 12:03:28, February 09, 2019 CET | From | Independent Freedom Alliance | To | Debating the Call for early elections, January 4528 |
| Message | The BFI totally disagree here. Having 20% of the electorate not represented here can (to us) not be called "an inside matter". My party feel that the BFI differ more and more on essential issues. |

| Message | Read closely,I said discussing bills should not be a secret. |

| Random quote: "We must show that liberty is not merely one particular value but that it is the source and condition of most moral values. What a free society offers to the individual is much more than what he would be able to do if only he were free. We can therefore not fully appreciate the value of freedom until we know how a society of free men as a whole differs from one in which unfreedom prevails." - Friedrich August Hayek |
