| Message | The True Conservative Party believes that Article 1's proposal is ludicrous and immoral - homosexuality in the military would provide an immoral and unwanted distraction for troops who should be focussing on their training, their discipline, and defending their nation. Furthermore, allowing homosexuality in the military would make our military a laughing stock. The True Conservative Party believes that Article 3's proposal to eliminate compulsory military training for all adults on completion of schooling is irrational. The obvious benefit of a short compulsory military training for all adults on completion of schooling is that our nation will be far better prepared overall for defence, and if nobody is required to complete military training, then our military will be weak, comprising only of people who joined the military simply because they could not get jobs. If our nation was to be invaded, who would defend it? The True Conservative Party believes that, in contrast to Article 4's proposal of leaving policies on prostitution up to local governments is unnessicary. There should be a nation-wide ban on all prostition of any description, and harsh punishments for any person involved in prostitution or receiving the service of prostitutes. The True Conservative Party believes that Article 5, the legalization of illicit narcotics, is rediculous. Allowing drugs to become legal would increase the nation's death toll dramatically, increase the nation's unemployment rate dramatically, increase poverty, increase crime dramatically, and create an unsafe society for children. There is absolutely no positive arguement for this bill to be passed. |

| Message | The ALSP will wait with doing any adjustments of this bill till after the election. After the election we will try to formulate a bill that pleases as many as possible of the liberal parties in Aldegar if the liberal parties together have a majority. Some of these articles can be removed or changed if the other liberal parties wants changes. However we in the ALSP will try to reform the country in a libertarian direction in as many cases as possible. The ALSP is sorry to declare that the TCP in it's current form is as close as possible to the total opposite of the ALSP and that the ALSP therefore must prioritize keeping the TCP away from power as important as several of our most important agendas. |
