| Message | On some of the proposals we can agree. On others, we think the changes are too extreme right now and would support a more moderate change. I can look this over and identify the specific articles we agree with and disagree with later. |

| Message | This, without a doubt, is the biggest step backwards in progress we have seen in hundreds of years. Propelling us back into the middle ages seems to be the primary goal of these reactionaries. |

| 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. |
