Bill: A Bill to change our economic system

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 5254
Description[?]:
We believe capitalist society cannot be the solution. Some companies need to be in public ownership so that prices are not subject to the market conditions or the will of a few oligarchs. Water, electricty, highways and all public services need to be back in the hands of the people. |
