Bill: Réforme Socialiste Republicaine/Socialist Republican Reform
Details
Submitted by[?]: Parti Socialiste
Status[?]: passed
Votes: This bill asks for an amendement to the Constitution. It will require two-thirds of the legislature to vote in favor. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: March 4626
Description[?]:
| The Parti Socialiste wishes to eliminate the unnecessary and, frankly, bothersome Parliamentary system in favour of the foundation of a Presidentialist Republic. Moreover, the important matter of nobility and the Rildanorian monarchy is addressed in this bill, effectively eliminating any vestiges of Monarchist influence in our Constitution, State and Nation. This change pushes forwards the major reform to the structure of our State regarding the separation of the Head of Government and the Head of State. With this reform, these two positions will be merged under the new Président position, which will act as the Head of State, Government and the Executive branch of the Rildanorian State. |

| Random fact: Players have a responsibility to differentiate between OOC (out-of-character) and IC (in-character) behaviour, and to make clear when they are communicating in OOC or IC terms. Since Particracy is a role-playing game, IC excesses are generally fine, but OOC attacks are not. However, players must not presume this convention permits them to harass a player with IC remarks that have a clear OOC context. |
| Random quote: "A democracy that does not allow limits is not a democracy. Just as a limitless freedom is not freedom, but prevarication. Indeed, any theory of freedom worthy of this name is first of all a limit theory. If we extend the unlimited tolerance even to those who are intolerant, if we are not willing to defend a tolerant society against the attacks of the intolerants, then the tolerants will be destroyed and the tolerance with them! Because, I ask to myself and ask you, given a certain system that we call democratic, which is today the best possible system to allow everyone to live freely and to be able to express their own thoughts, how can the same system admit attacks against its integrity? How can a system refuse the principle of the self-preservation? For this reason, to suppress the apologetics of thalerrism, it's for this reason that the exaltation of exegetes, principles, facts or methods of Thallerism and its anti-democratic aims does not constitute a violation of the freedom of manifestation of thought, but, on the contrary, the celebration of that freedom. The protection of the first premise on which a modern democratic system is based. And this premise must be safeguarded also and above all against itself and its abuses." ~ Malik Astori, Leadership of Liberty and Progress (Istalia) |
