Description[?]:
| We feel these changes are necessary in modern day Telamon. (please note that article 1 is what most modern western nations has irl, I have earlier encountered people who didnt realize this and called it totalitarian, basically it means that if serious riots or chaos step in will the military be allowed to assist the police to establish law and order - this need government approval though as a state of emergency has to be declared first). |

| Message | Why on earth would we wait for someone to use a nuclear weapon before we use one? It's like Russian Roulette but we always have to go first. It is this kind of erratic behavior that makes it clear the Centre Party is not fit for leadership. |

| Message | Article 2 is rancidly objectionable, as much as we like Article 1. |

| Message | It was a mistake when we voted for the earlier proposal, we cannot support random use of WMD... Nor can we accept a society standing still without doing anything in a state of emergency situation. |

| Message | Furthermore did we not discuss this as there is little to debate... And was fairly sure a majority already supported this. |
