| Message | We can go along with 3, 4 and 7. As for the WMDs, we should have the right to them for defense, especally if we are to allow another nation to build missile bases on our home turf. The Free Movement does not believe in limiting intel operations, as long as they are for good cause and not against our own citizens, they should be free. We would support Art 8 if you changed it to the "Dont Ask, Don't Tell" Option. |

| Random fact: In order for a Cabinet bill to pass, more than half of the legislature must vote for it and all of the parties included in the proposed Cabinet must support it. If your nation has a Head of State who is also the Head of Government, then the party controlling this character must also vote for the bill, since the Head of Government is also a member of the Cabinet. If any of these requirements are not met, the bill will not pass. |
