Message | We suppose now the Homeland has survived its first election and managed to stablise itself, liberisation can now begin. We could agree to article 1 if a sufficient case was made for it, however we feel article 2 is too fast a movement, and will create instability. |

Message | In any case, mayoral elections often see an apathetic populace to abstain, leading to extremist or inexperienced leadership. If we are to change the current system, we do not feel this is the right option. |
