| Message | We agree with article 2 of the proposed bill, but we cannot support a move towards a closed market economy in article 1. |
| Date | 13:40:25, February 10, 2007 CET | From |  Democratic Party of Dorvik | To | Debating the Dorvik Independance Act |
| Message | We need foreign investments to keep our economy rolling and we don't need unnecessary government interference. Current policy about border control is sufficient, there's no need to take intensive security checks in use which would only reduce tourism on our country. |

| Message | So I suppose allowing people to bring illegal goods into this country is allowed as long as they have been identified as the right person? |

| Message | It seems that the UPE isn't concerned about huge waste of people's times, increased bureaucracy & expenses and not to mention the negative effect on tourism. Random checks and checks in suspicious cases are enough. Even if we would support article 2, it doesn't outweight article 1. |

| Random fact: Particracy allows you to establish an unelected head of state like a monarch or a president-for-life, but doing this is a bit of a process. First elect a candidate with the name "." to the Head of State position. Then change your law on the "Structure of the executive branch" to "The head of state is hereditary and symbolic; the head of government chairs the cabinet" and change the "formal title of the head of state" to how you want the new head of state's title and name to appear (eg. King Percy XVI). |
