| Message | We believe all of these issues are linked. National sovereignty cannot be achieved while the people are oppressed by treatied that bind us and militaries that oppose the will of government. The only path left to Parliament when there is a rogue Admiral and Hutori is tethered is to break those tethers and remove all power from that Admiral. In this way, we can achieve Sensible Parity and peace. |
