There is at least one thing that the CPC did right, namely cracking down on the tendency of nobles not to pay taxes. Now, the nobility didn't appreciate that, but most of them recognise that they were bound to have to pay taxes eventually. So the delegation that has approached the Partycracy is not asking to be exempted from taxes. In fact, they are volunteering to pay more. The catch being that they want it in writing that there won't be any other new taxes levied on them.Whilst this Law is in force, the Polis gains 75d Treasury per turn, multiplied by Noble Power.
This Law will automatically be Repealed if a situation causes the Nobles to be taxed more (which will be made clear at the time). The Nobles would Hate that.
While there is some minor grumbling from all sides on the issue (Nobles who don't like taxes, but also Everyone Else who don't like that it shields Nobles from further taxation), in the end nobody is likely to make a fuss regardless of whether the Law is passed or not.
