NSG Senate Coffee Shop: Want Any Cream or Sugar with That?

[Belmaria]

We need single payer healthcare. Also, this is not a tag. Okay maybe just a little.

Indeed, we do need universal healthcare. I suggest we model it after the Kerala model.

Australian model. I like the sound of Medicare.

An act to promote inclusiveness and mutual understanding among the many entities which collectively make up the whole of Elizia's politics.

BE IT THEREFORE ENACTED by the Head of the State, by and with the counsel of the Government, and the authority of the Federal Parliament by virtue of the powers placed upon it by the Law, as follows:

---

§1 – Overview:
The Political Trilingualism Act requires: All legal registered political parties in Elizia must provide a rendition of their party's name in Chinese, English and Malay on their party logo, if the party's name is listed at all on their logo. If it isn't nothing is required of them by law.

§2 – Penalty For a Lack of Compliance:
The penalty for refusing to change or create a logo in the legal manner by party leadership will result in the annual fine equal to the equivalent of $1,000 USD which shall be taken directly from party funds.

I fear the Australian model may be out of our price range, so to speak. The Kerala model is designed for low-income nations like ourselves.

I'll support the Kerala model then. I hate not having money to spend.

Ryan binti Kamaaluddeen concurs.

I agree. Even with our lack of credit, implementing universal primary care is a realistic goal and would take a tremendous burden off of Elizian families. However, I would suggest that the act be worded as to empower each state to tailor each program to its needs rather than a national system.

C'mon, folks, the NLA only needs one more sponsor!

I disagree. We need a national program so that conservatives in one province don't get to hijack the system and under-fund it for their people.

I strongly oppose this senseless piece of legislation.

In the words of a great man, "This bill is a horrible idea as it will put us out,of step with most,nations of,the,world."

[Belmaria]

Our nation must adhere to Eastern Daylight Time. Not Eastern Standard Time, Eastern Daylight Time... for the next few months, then we should change to EST.

I have nothing but opposition to Presidentialism and this proposed draft. Our nation has fought so hard to be free of strongmen, and in light of this we simply must become either a parliamentary, semi-presidential or (by far my personal favorite) directorial republic; we simply cannot vest so much power in the hands of one in light of our recent history.
