[Geilinor]

I wish to register the following votes on the five bills currently at vote:

• Limiting Legislation Act: In favour
• Anti-Slavery Act: In favour
• Civil Treatment Act: Blank (I do not believe monetary fines set as a fixed amount are just)
• Sexual Industry Regulation Act: In favour
• Provisional Criminal Code: In favour

Phing Phong, I strongly advise that you change your vote on the LLA. The version linked is wrong. The correct one has a clause literally makes it unamendable and unrepealable.

Is there a link to it?

[NSG Senate Administrators]

ATTENTION

The Administration has determined that the Limiting Legislation Act will be removed from voting immediately due to the lack of clarification as to what version of the bill was being voted on, thereby giving people an improper insight into what they were voting for.

The remainder of voting may continue as scheduled.

[Geilinor]

Nay for the Civil Treatment Act, there's a clause in there nationalizing the sex industry. Yea for the others.

[Threlizdun]

Limiting Legislation Act: Blank
Anti-Slavery Act: Aye
Civil Treatment Act: Aye
Sexual Industry Regulation Act: Aye
Provisional Criminal Code: Nay

I must ask. Has the proposed ammendment on the Limiting Legislation Act that would alter the stipulation that denies the right to participate in government to those that have been incarcerated been passed? If so, I will most likely change my vote to "aye". If not, my vote will absolutely be changed to "nay".

LLA has been rendered irrelevant.

Thank you. I don't know how I possibly missed that.

Enough support for queue.

You might as well strike the LLA from your tally, it's no longer valid.

[Unicario]

Who's the barbarian who voted against the Anti-Slavery Act? ._.

[Great Nepal]

Who's the barbarian who voted against the Anti-Slavery Act? ._.

I believe you are looking for Hippo.

[Shrillland]

Who's the barbarian who voted against the Anti-Slavery Act? ._.

Hippo, because it outlawed debt slavery, which the distinguished senator considers an acceptable method of payment.

[Unicario]

Disgusting.

[The Zeonic States]

I made that same point and people call it "Barbaric"

Odd how that works ain't it.

Still it does reveal this senate and its immature and fiscally irresponsible outlook on the subject.

You give the National Imperialist party a bad name with your pro-slavery policy, Senator.
