Bill: Economic Reform for the people
Details
Submitted by[?]: Socialist Party
Status[?]: defeated
Votes: This bill proposes to change the allocation of funds in the budget. It requires more than half of the legislature to vote yes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: February 4708
Description[?]:
| We need to control our economy to provide a decent standard of living to our citizens. While those who suffer the most keep suffering because the state doesn't cover their basic expenses and needs, the rich keep accumulating wealth and even benefit from less environmental regulations. This can't happen! As communists, we want this huge reform to pass and the far-right White Rose cabinet to be overthrown. LONG LIVE THE REVOLUTION! |

| Message | First off, Mr Speaker, this would not bring down our Government as this is not how majority works. Unless the SDP supported a communist Government, we are not going anywhere Secondly, this is a reckless attack on the efforts we have made to drive employment opportunities, build aspiration and drive down prices to reduce poverty. |
| Date | 18:23:33, February 08, 2020 CET | From | Socialist Party | To | Debating the Economic Reform for the people |
| Message | Mr. Speaker, Mr. the prime minister, If you were honest, this would bring down your government because our policies are completely the opposite of yours. Relyign on the supply and confidence of a party which doesn't support your policies would be ridiculous. Also, your government did not reduce poverty You reduce the health and Social Services budget, you repealed our legislation which would regulate the economy and bring the power back to the people. The industries and multinationals won't be creating jobs just for you, they will simply create jobs if the cost/benefit ration benefits them. There is no place for the human being in this system, which is why the capitalist system has to be replaced by the communist system. |

| Random fact: It usually takes up to an hour for election results to generate. During this time, the "Next Election" date is put forward a month, which is confusing. Do not worry! In a short time, the election result will generate and the "Next Election" date will then correct itself. |
