[The Nihilistic view]

I shall now also begin writing my proposals, going to start with Universal Credit Prepaid Benefits card.

If someone, Nihil?, would like to begin drafting the Citizens Dividend proposal on the points already discussed?


I'll work on the YAC

Ah found it, got to go to work in a bit but will start collecting the point's from the thread when I get back later.

[Lamaredia]

The idea really is we prevent children from having to live with names that are honestly awful but not banning names like some countries.

It's more of a common sense thing really, merely the official refuses to sign any birth certificate with a name that is offensive, derogatory to the child and infringes on the right to live without fear of violence. It won't affect many cases but it's just something I think needs to be there alongside a time limit for giving name for children, you don't want children going around being called "child #1" or "boy/girl" because parents aren't obliged to.

It's minor legislation, just something I think we should do

Names such as North West spring to mind.

I can just see how someone is going to tease her and call her mothers vagina ''The North West passage''

[Battlion]

Here is what I have currently written, any suggestions on ways to expand this or improve it?

[Battlion]

Changed some of the wording in section II, is there anything I've missed that we may want to put in?

Nihil, see anything I've missed?

End of my lunch at work now, I did give it a quick glance and there was nothing glaring. I will have a look for loopholes later though. I tend to find most of the one's found in the senate bill's.

Well that is good, just want to get this one sorted before I pump out the Universal Credit prepaid cards and then the Young Aurentine Card Bill which I'm trying to think of a name for.

[Falmerheim]

I like that bill very much Battlion, it's got my support.

That case was dreadful

[Europe and the Americas]

I agree, that bill is a good idea however I will scan it and see if I see any problems.

[Battlion]

Brilliant, I'll start having another look whilst we're at it

[Battlion]

I have just posted an amendment in the Coffee shop to ensure that President/Prime Minister Questions are available at all times and not every two weeks, I'd be grateful if members would sponsor it in the coffee shop.

What do people think?

[Lamaredia]

It's good, and I'll sponsor it.

[Battlion]

It's good, and I'll sponsor it.

Brilliant, any flaws in it?

I was thinking of having the monthly leftover if any being given back to the government but 10% of whatever is returned being added to the next payment.

What do you think of the leftover?

It would reward under spending and budgeting and give incentive to do so by getting an additional payment next month.
