Bill: UCA Education Manifesto
Details
Submitted by[?]: United Liberal Alliance
Status[?]: defeated
Votes: This bill proposes the withdrawal from a treaty. It will require half of the legislature to vote in favor[?]. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: September 2294
Description[?]:
| Again, just a bill to promote my visibility in areas of education! I think most of you oppose most of these measures anyway! Please note that we generally support the Telamon Charter on the Rights of Citizens, but we cannot agree with its blatent partisan attempt to prevent private elementary and secondary education - this is the only reason that we propose withdrawal and we would happily support another draft which did not contain this provision |
