Message | Mr speaker, What will happen to our national cricket and rugby teams if the IMPERIAL government no longer funds them? I yield the floor. |

Message | ..::Rises::.. To the Rt Hon. Gentleman representing the BCD, Unfortunately they would loose funding from the Government...however this doesnt mean they would be disbanded it means simply that government funding ends. The revenue created from merchandising and ticket sales is rather sufficient to maintain the status quo and provide for club growth. I yield the floor. |

Message | Mr. Speaker, We do not feel it is the job of the federal government to fund sports teams or the players within them. It is a crime against taxpayers. Therefore, we support this bill. The local governments can decide for themselves whether they wish to waste their constituents money and be kicked out of office. I yield the floor. |

Message | Mr Speaker, We feel that the other parties are acting under misconceptions regarding local governments. They are not, as in a Federal system, a separate tier of government. All their authority, such as it is, is derived from the national government under His Serene Majesty. The ultimate blame for their actions, in the voters eyes, lies with us. |

Random fact: It is possible for a player to transfer ownership of a character or a royal house to another player. This should be done in a public way, such as on the Character Transfers thread, so that if a dispute arises in the future, Moderation can be pointed towards evidence of the transfer. |
