| Message | This is an insane Bill. By cutting luxury goods taxes, you risk destroying the economic welfare of the nation. The only way we could repair that damage would be to increase income tax, and this would hit the poor hardest. In addition, you want to remove public radio services, and legalise pedophile, necrophile and bestiophile pornography. You want to make sports a market forces exercise, jeopardising health, and make students study for exams rather than learn. You want to increase pre-natal murder, legalise prostitution (which we assume is the reason for your stance on abortion), and you want to allow assisted murder/suicides. Article 2 is okay; it must have slipped in by accident. It is laughable that anyone would support this; the AMRLP clearly want to govern by absence; it begs the question why they turn up for work at all. |

| Random fact: When your party holds the foreign affairs department, you can create new treaties. However, before writing anything new, it is a good idea to search for existing treaties which already accomplish what you desire. |
