Bill: Call for early elections, January 2073
Details
Submitted by[?]: New Democracy
Status[?]: defeated
Votes: This bill requests an early election. It requires more than half of the legislature to vote yes. This bill will pass as soon as the required yes votes are in, or will be defeated if unsufficient votes are reached on the deadline. Elections will be held immediately if the bill passes.
Voting deadline: December 2074
Description[?]:
The Neoliberal Party decided to call for early elections as soon as we can reach a consensus. Last election's results were confusing and created national instability, that can damage our economy. Thus, for our Democracy, we should have new elections. |

Message | We suspect "confusing" here is being used as a euphemism for "did not elect a right-wing coalition to power", but however. There are still viable Cabinet proposals being debated from both wings. While we understand the reasoning behind it, this call may be a bit premature unless and until those possibilities are exhausted. |

Message | The Senate is currently split pretty evenly between capitalists and socialists. Saying their are two wings is being narrow minded. There are two axes, economically liberal or authoritarian. (Right vs Left) And socially liberal vs Authoritarian I would class the Freedom party and LAP as socially and economically liberal. The Neoliberal and the Conservative party as economically liberal and socially conservative. The others i am not so sure about. The RSDP is socially liberal but economically authoritarian. As are the HSP. |

Message | It appears the more progressive Cabinet proposal now does have the support of a parliamentary majority. Also, I wouldn't exactly describe the RSDP as "economically authoritarian", I think we're more "economically socialist". Free market, with regulations. ;-) |

Message | We know about the two axes idea, but you know what we meant. For "wings" read "camps" or "blocs" if it helps. RSDP: check your messages. |

Message | Economically authoritarian and regulation are pretty similar. Social Democrats should not be socialist though. |

Message | I would vote for. |

Message | Well. Vote time. |
Date | 13:41:08, June 30, 2005 CET | From | Libertarian Alcoholic Par-tay | To | Debating the Call for early elections, January 2073 |
Message | Seems a bit pointless since we'll be having elections in a few game-months anyway. |

Date | 15:52:43, June 30, 2005 CET | From | Freedom Party | To | Debating the Call for early elections, January 2073 |
Message | Against, voting would be reset when it need not be. I will wait for elections (only tomorrow, not long to wait) |

Message | Guess when voting is supposed to end on this proposal? That's right! In the month we'd be having our next elections anyway. |
