Description[?]:
| (This bill was proposed by the minister of Justice Emelina Marcano) We are to threat criminals fairly and humanly. We shouldn't allow ourselves to be controlled by our anger toward criminals. It's time to reform the way to threat your criminals. We should be extremely cautious removing someone's right to vote. Government deciding who can or can't vote is a very dangerous precedent and we should not only use it in extreme circumstance, like when the crimes commited is particularly heinous. We should seek to help criminals redeem themselves and repair, the best they can, the wrong they have done to society, not simply butchered them. If we are to murder murderers, how are we better than them? We should also mention the fact that they it is impossible to prove without any doubt that someone is indeed guilty, people are declare guilty and then found innoncent years latter all the time, meaning that we will inevitably kill someone that innocent. |

| Random fact: It usually takes up to an hour for election results to generate. During this time, the "Next Election" date is put forward a month, which is confusing. Do not worry! In a short time, the election result will generate and the "Next Election" date will then correct itself. |
