Bill: Intelligence Reform
Details
Submitted by[?]: Liberty Party
Status[?]: passed
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: June 2281
Description[?]:
| High profile intelligence failures have demonstrated that a huge money pit of incompetent agents routinely breaking the laws of the countries in which they operate does not protect us from terrorism or foreign invasion but does serve to make the rest of the world (quite rightly) hate us. People who hate us are more likely to attack us and therefore aggressive (but inept) agents are counter-productive. Accordingly, we propose to redirect our intelligence community into performing actions which are not brazenly illegal nor guaranteed to alienate all the other countries in the world. |

| Message | Wow, look at how well your education is working out for you. I guess about as well as the intelligence services' information on Iraq's WMDs. Maybe also about as well as the intelligence services' attempts to find bin Laden. Etc. Sidenote, just calling something 'intelligence' does not make it, nor its proponents, intelligent. |

| Random fact: Particracy allows you to establish an unelected head of state like a monarch or a president-for-life, but doing this is a bit of a process. First elect a candidate with the name "." to the Head of State position. Then change your law on the "Structure of the executive branch" to "The head of state is hereditary and symbolic; the head of government chairs the cabinet" and change the "formal title of the head of state" to how you want the new head of state's title and name to appear (eg. King Percy XVI). |
| Random quote: "If democracy is ever to be threatened, it will not be by revolutionary groups burning government offices and occupying the broadcasting and newspaper offices of the world. It will come from disenchantment, cynicism and despair caused by the realization that the New World Order means we are all to be managed and not represented." - Tony Benn |
