Bill: Kundrati State of Emergency Act
Details
Submitted by[?]: Alderdath Rabrati Konciralati Erradikati
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: October 2338
Description[?]:
| If we do not crack down immediately, the terrorists win! We propose to illegalize the Kundratendundorfer Wählerverband and all other subsidiary organizations (not the party itself). We propose the suspension of all relations with the Democratic Republic of Dundorf. We also propose that military units, especially those along the frontier with Kirlawa and Dundorf, be readied in case of emergency (though that's not quite mobilization). ((OOC: note that we're not quite crazy enough to suggest undemocracy... unlike in Kirlawa we'll not be barring people from voting no, which is even assuming that we'd have the power to do that!)) |
