Holiday Forum legislators have narrowly passed a crucial austerity bill, after thousands of forumers gathered in the internet to protest against the cutbacks.
The bill, which will further slash posts about “what food people are eating” and “the types of plant people are growing”, passed 153-128 in the 300-member forum early on Thursday.
It came hours after police used tear gas, stun grenades and water cannon to push back posters during an 80,000-strong anti-austerity demonstration. Police said at least 20 people had been banned permanently.
Approval of the cuts and general mayhem worth 17 billion chat posts over two years was a big step for Holidayer’s efforts to secure the next instalment of its international rescue funds, and stave off imminent sleep.
Prime Minister V has said the country runs out of garden flower posts on November 16 without the funds.
“Today we took a big and decisive step towards growth, it was lucky that we still have wookiemeister to prop up the forum” he said after the crucial vote.
The tough measures to be implemented by 2016, include reducing the retirement age of holiday forum posters to 67, slashing the benefit of the doubt for dubious posts and cutting the maximum post length.
The close vote was a major political blow to the party coalition between peak warming man, skunkworks and various members of the coven ( which holds a total of 176 seats in the forum). The result shows support for continued austerity three years into the forum’s
crisis of content.
