Details

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: December 2246
Description[?]:
| Too much complacency! Of late, the Axis Mundi Revolution! movement has allowed itself to become tired, and inactive. We have been complacent, and The People have (rightfully) abandoned our hardline. Oh - not in big numbers... not yet, but we have seen the writing on the wall. And, therein lies the problem. Axis Mundi REVOLUTION! We should BE the party writing on walls! Or we should BE the party tearing those walls down! And now, the hallowed halls of the Likatonian Convocation ring with the words 'conspiracy', and 'coup'. Pretenders to the throne, planning their agendas against us - the emissaries of The People. No More! Back to the firm, but fair, approach that made us the darlings of The People! Long Live the Revolution! Power to The People! |

| Message | Whilst there is much in this Bill that looks both promising and realistic, it puts too much power in the hands of the central government for our tastes. It almosts smacks of populist politics... |
| Date | 20:33:02, June 29, 2006 CET | From | Commonwealth Workers Army | To | Debating the Axis Mundi Revolution - Children of the Revolution! |
| Message | Axis Mundi Revolution! has never DENIED populist politics. We believe we ARE the voice of The People... 'populist' is practically our definition. As for 'putting too much power in the hands of the central government'... we are not sure that is possible, where the central government serves the people. We are a little disappointed by the lack of support from the Bribery and Corruption Party... it would seem the large volume of cash we 'accidentally misplaced' recently must have been more-than-matched by some other equally careless accountants in some other party... |

| Random fact: Players have a responsibility to differentiate between OOC (out-of-character) and IC (in-character) behaviour, and to make clear when they are communicating in OOC or IC terms. Since Particracy is a role-playing game, IC excesses are generally fine, but OOC attacks are not. However, players must not presume this convention permits them to harass a player with IC remarks that have a clear OOC context. |
