Bill: Move Act 015 - Remove The Red Threat
Details
Submitted by[?]: The Movement
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: August 4885
Description[?]:
We cannot let the communists run this country! Businesses belong to their owners, not the government or their puppets who work in the industry. Striking is also not a solution to worker's problems. It only makes our economy crumble and our people suffer because they feel entitled to something more. It is outrageous that we still allow this anarchy! |

Random fact: In cases where a party has no seat, the default presumption should be that the party is able to contribute to debates in the legislature due to one of its members winning a seat at a by-election. However, players may collectively improvise arrangements of their own to provide a satisfying explanation for how parties with no seats in the legislature can speak and vote there. |
