Bill: Social Equality Part 2
Details
Submitted by[?]: Communist Workers Party of Pontesi (MLM)
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.

Description[?]:
See our previous bill. Though we bear no grudge against homosexuals, we feel that this perversion is a bourgeois disease caused by decadence and wealth. (OOC: I don't really feel this way, but Pontesi is a conservative place...) |
