Date | 20:23:45, May 11, 2021 CET | From | Democratic Centrist Party | To | Debating the CLP Economy Act |
Message | The DCP have decided to vote against this bill. Article 1 - (DISAGREE) We disagree with the privatisation of airports, as costs for passengers will be considerably more. Article 2 - (DISAGREE) We feel child benefit policies should be left in the hands of the national government. We feel that less support will be given to those who are poor or have large families. Article 3 - (DISAGREE) We believe private and public power stations are the way forward and we would not change this policy. Article 5 - (DISAGREE) Likatonia has made excellent progress on ensuring that Workers are paid generously for their hard work. We believe that slashing and reducing wages will lead us in the wrong direction. The employed will become less encouraged to work and unemployment will increase. If unemployment increases so does social security funding by the government. Article 8 - (DISAGREE) Again we will be going backwards with this proposal. Evidently controlled-regulation of recreational drugs has boosted the economy significantly. This proposal will put millions of people out of jobs! Article 10 - (DISAGREE) This proposal does not reward employees for their hard work. Article 12 - (DISAGREE) We are currently happy with the current proposals for TOC's. However we do agree with article 4, 6, 7, 9 and 11 which we believe are efficient proposals, but the DCP cannot agree with the rest of the bill that will skyrocket costs and have adverse affects on the poorest of society. - Democratic Centrist Party. |

Random fact: In order for a Cabinet bill to pass, more than half of the legislature must vote for it and all of the parties included in the proposed Cabinet must support it. If your nation has a Head of State who is also the Head of Government, then the party controlling this character must also vote for the bill, since the Head of Government is also a member of the Cabinet. If any of these requirements are not met, the bill will not pass. |
