| Message | If you vote yes to this one, it confirms our opinion that you're a complete bastard. Please note this is a SALTYfesto. An antifesto (you know ... like the opposite of manifesto?) of the SAL. Made so that you can vote against things you don't want to happen, to remind the people that if you weren't there this is the kind of stuff that COULD happen. |

| Message | OOC: Being new, forgive my newbie question. WIth your aforementioned comments I'm a bit confused. Is this being displayed as a mere example or an actual future bill to be voted upon? I agree with many of the things there but, would love to engage in a debate on some of the issues. Thanks for your time! |

| Message | OOC: This will be brought to vote. Antifestos in the game are used if somebody wants to reinforce their stances on issues but without actually changing the status quo, by putting forward bills that they intend to vote no on. If you wish to debate then go for it. If you want things to be passed though, advise that you put forward your own bills with the issues separated because otherwise the voters might think you're a racist slave trader ;) |
