Bill: Morality, Neutrality, Strength: End Weapons Exports
Details
Submitted by[?]: Christian Democrats
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: April 2284
Description[?]:
| "Keymon is neutral, but the Christian Democrats have always interpreted this very strictly. Right now, we have a weird set of laws in which we can export arms but can't produce them. I'd like to see these flipped. We should be allowed to produce arms for ourselves, but we should not export arms to anybody. That makes sure we don't accidentally compromise our neutrality." -- Allen Douglas, incoming Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs |
