Bill: Decreasing our deficit
Details
Submitted by[?]: Socialist Party
Status[?]: passed
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 pass as soon as the required yes votes are in, or will be defeated if unsufficient votes are reached on the deadline.
Voting deadline: February 4727
Description[?]:
| Following the budget changes we made, we propose to cut spending in those fields to reduce our deficit. The justice and education budgets are excessively too high and we suspect the previous far-right cabinets of using this money to bribe public officials and this is not acceptable for us. |
