Bill: Minor changes in defence policy
Details
Submitted by[?]: Leftsocialist 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: March 2317
Description[?]:
| Proposal number 2 was prompted by an earlier debate about our country's policy on the use of nuclear weapons. Although we still feel at heart that nuclear weapons should only be used in retaliation to a nuclear attack and thereby act as a detterent, we find the security and unity of Malivia to be too important to be partisan about it. We hope that the proposal will be supported by The Protectorate Party. As regards proposal number one: we have our doubts whether it is possible at all to protect our citizens against the ravages of nuclear war and maybe we shouldnt waste money on something that doesn't work. But seeing as things are we think that local governments should be in charge of this question. |

| Random quote: As for rape, of course, that is a direct consequence of the capitalist system of oppression. Capitalism relies on fuelling division and resentment to sustain itself, and so it sets men against women, race against race and so on. Men rape women because they are being oppressed by capitalism, so they take it out on women. Under Communism, there will be no rape, because there will be a full and natural harmony and equality between the genders. ~ Friedrich Pfeiffer General Secretary of the Dorvish Communist Party |
