| Message | I'd rather see Articles 1 and 2 changed to the option for the national government to provide funding to local governments, but otherwise...I don't see a problem with it. As is, I'll vote against it. I don't see a compelling reason to increase the bureaucracy within the national government, particularly when it comes to non-essential things such as libraries and museums. Change Articles 1 and 2, and I'll support this bill. |
| Date | 07:31:28, August 21, 2007 CET | From | People's Party of Saridan | To | Debating the Culture and Heritage Act |
| Message | You get my party's full support. We've made many great strides in the past years and I would love for us to have more culture included. |

| Random fact: In cases where players introduce RP laws to a nation and then leave, Moderation reserves the discretion to declare the RP laws void if they appear to have fallen into disuse. In particular, please bear in mind that a player who is inexperienced with Particracy role-play and has joined a nation as the only party there should not generally be expected to abide by RP laws implemented by previous players who have been and left. |
