Details

Status[?]: defeated

Voting deadline: February 5244
Description[?]:
| - The government is legally required to protect every freely formed political association from political violence, harassment and intimidation to protect the right to free speech held by all Luthorians. - However, the government can choose to revoke this right for a specific political party on the grounds that they are either politically extremist, or have used violence against any other political group. - To revoke this right for any party, the government must have the backing of 200 members of the Imperial Diet. - In the case that the political association appeals their removal of their right to protection, the Supreme Court shall be the final deliberative body on this matter (http://classic.particracy.net/viewbill.php?billid=677464) - If any political organisation declares that the government has breached this law, then the Supreme Court shall be responsible for reaching a final verdict. - If the Supreme Court decides that the government has breached this agreement, the victim can table a motion for early elections. OOC: I think this counts as a constitutional law, so it needs 2/3 majority to pass. |
