Bill: Nationalisation of all banks
Details
Submitted by[?]: Socialist Party
Status[?]: defeated
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: February 4735
Description[?]:
| Bankers are nothing but greedy capitalists, stealing from the honest workers. We need a government for the people that runs all banks and redistributes the profits to the population. It's horrible, all this poverty on our streets. People are starving and at the same moments there are bankers earning at least 10 times the minimum wage. Let's give the profits to the people! |
