| Message | The Liberty Party holds that a Free Market is the most efficient, fair and beneficial to the consumer and the producer, therefore we are against any form of state ownership of power producing corporations as it severely distorts the market. We believe the the state, local or otherwise, has any right to allocate tax payer's money to what should be a free market of transport. The Liberty Party has voted against this bill. |

If a player is allotted seats in a Cabinet bill and has not filled in names for the relevant candidate position, then the program will automatically fill in the positions with names which might not necessarily be appropriate for the Cultural Protocols. |
