Bill: Social Democratic Party Platform
Details
Submitted by[?]: Sekowan Social-Democractic Party
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.
Voting deadline: May 2312
Description[?]:
"We live in a nation brought to the edge of moral, economic, political, and material ruin. Corruption dominates the ballot box, the legislature, the governors and the presidency, and touches even the ermine of the bench. The newspapers are silenced and public opinion muzzled. The fruits of the toiling millions are boldly stolen to build up collossal fortunes for a few, and from the same prolific woumb of governmental injustice we breed two classes, paupers and millionaries. We must act to change this, and to secure liberty and justice for every citizen". |
