Bill: Equal rights act. (2080)
Details
Submitted by[?]: Adam Smith 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: January 2082
Description[?]:
| Within our nation there is a portion of the working population that are unfairly discriminated against. They are denied the same rights and protections that the majority of the working population are granted and this denial constitutes unwarrented and unjustifiable discrimination against them. We therefore propose to rectify this injustice and extend the same rights to all individuals who work for a living regardless of the nature of their work on the provision that their activities are not illegal. (We do not propose to extend employment rights to criminals). We call upon all parties of the house to support this movement to make Lodamun a standard bearer for equal rights. This is a representation of a bill that was presented in 2071. http://aiglesrv.no-ip.info:8080/particracy/main/viewbill.php?billid=6668 It is believed that there may be a majority in favour of treating all our people equally before the law now. |

| Message | ((See their comment in the early election bill, it doesn't make much sense in this game, but it is a typical undemocratic move made by some real life politicians. What he may not have realised is the fillibustering does not happen in Europe because the rules don't allow for such abuse of power and as such it isn't going to work here either.)) |
