Bill: Coalition of the Urban-Rural Poor and Organic Nobility against the encroaching Urbanite Merchant-Industrial Castes
Details
Submitted by[?]: Prince-Republican League - New EAPP
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: April 4742
Description[?]:
| With the National Revolution dragging its tired feet and people of Lodamun getting slowly used to the Dual Power, a whole new generation of pro-Princely militants and demagogues is slowly replacing the old guard. With every passing year there's more and more of those that were never members of the official EAPP and only remember the times after the Great Northern Betrayal. But, just as it was rare to see any slaves in the North even during the heyday of Princely rule but slave trade ever-flourished in the South independent of its legality, it seems that real personal connections to a regime of one kind or another rarely actually make a difference in the views of Lodamese voters. |
