Bill: The Manifesto Flagship Bill for the Beluzia Renewal Party - Election 4728
Details
Submitted by[?]: Beluzia Renewal Party (BRP)
Status[?]: passed
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: November 4727
Description[?]:
| With the next election looming ever closer, the government wishes to lay down its markers for the next steps it intends to take towards the further renewal of this country. The collection of articles forming this Bill is the BRP's gift to the nation. It will either be appreciated with a healthy proportion of the national vote at the next election, or the people of this country will provide a clear signal that the opinion that this government holds on what is good for Beluzia is not shared by them by voting for a majority amongst our other parliamentary parties. Let the people decide, and if they have spoken against these manifesto policies, then by all means let a new government change these laws with their own proposals. |

| Message | My party vehemently disagrees with articles 1, 2, 6, 7, 9. If three of these bills were to be removed, we would happily vote for the bill, but alas, there has not been sufficient time for the various parties to make their voices heard with concerns to the bill. |
