Bill: A Bill to ease the pressure on the Military, and help protect Likatonians in troubled times
Details
Submitted by[?]: Likaton Coalition of the Willing
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: July 2240
Description[?]:
| Given the uneasy state of the world today, we in the Manion Party believe it is high time that our government took a strong hand in civil defence, rather than leaving this critical issue to our dedicated, but occasionally blinkered, colleagues in Local Government. In addition, we believe that the military should receive more support, and to this end propose to create a seperate police force, and invest government Likaths in technology to assist them in the defence of our nation. Finally, to help our nation remain unified, we believe that we should invest more significance in our national standard, the glorious flag of our beloved nation. |

| Message | We urge the Bribery and Corruption Party to make a late change to their vote on this matter. Surely you feel that a local polce force will be more useful than a military one? Clearly we cannot bribe you, as that would be reprehnsible and damage our credibility, but we have noticed a disturbing lack of representation for your party in the cabinet...can this be rectified?
