Religious Buildings to require a referendum
From today the Religious building act comes into effect after the successful vote in the House of the People. The at was supported by a majority in all three of the main parties with CPP whipping their CAM's and MOP's to vote for the act mostly sucessfully. The act passed 155 votes to 74 thanks to overwhelming support from Party of Tradition at 79 to 11 and moderate support in the CPP and CSP. The passage comes just weeks after the mayor of Kathmore, re-elected Aonghas MacBerger and a planning panel both rejected the idea of an Akhadist 5,000 capacity temple calling the project "out of proportion" and also citing the need for such a proposal to be put to the community. The new act means any trust or religion trying to build a religious building over 999 capacity will need to conduct a referendum if it is for a Non-Breizhigist religion(the official government religion). The referendums will also have to be paid for by the sponsor.Such a referendum in Kathmore would be expected to cost at least 1.3 million dollars just in adminstration costs, not in campaigning costs. This would be where such buildings are likely to be proposed.
The Blessed Life Trust has been invited to put the application in again where the proposal would go through a referendum process before being approved by a planning panel. A process that would most likely be completed if the proposal won a referendum of the whole of Kathmore. The referendum under the new law would have to be paid for by the Blessed Life Trust with the group also responsible for campaigning for a yes vote in the referendum. The trust has already confirmed it will be putting in a second application. PoT activitists have today in response set up a "No to Super Temples" group to oppose the construction of "huge alien religious buildings". The No to Super Temples chairman is likely to argue the community are under 70,000 people with less 65,000 in Kathmore , therefore no super temple is needed given existing coverage. He argued in a press interview today with Strathae Vision "This is just another example of the Akhadist attempts to show supremity over Strathaes native culture. They want a symbol, an icon to dominate the area and say this is Akhadic territory. We are not lying down and accepting this. This is Strathaen territory , not Akhadic territory. It's time the Akhadists either fitted in or got out of the country." The group is to organise stands around Kathmore and rallies in opposition to the proposal. The Blessed Life Akhadic Society are also to organise rallies, tours of the proposed site as well as outline the community work the trust would do as well as how they are "good neighbours". No to Super Temples are also to highlight the "Threat of radicalism and extremism from the 'Super Temple' including the threat of homophobia and sexism spreading further." The group is to argue that such a Super Temple is undesirable for the reasons they stated so far. The group is lead by the son of Blair Gobnet McLucais, Finnén Gobnet McLucais. Who is expected to run for mayor in the next few years in Kathmore for the Party of Tradition.
