Date | 03:43:14, September 02, 2007 CET | From | Moderate Voice of Reason Party | To | Debating the Local Government Initiative #5 |
Message | Article one and two are, and should remain, national priorities. The storing and sharing of knowledge, free of charge, is a key function in keeping citizens educated. Libraries are treasure chests of ideas, wisdom and the art of storytelling. These buildings, brimming over with our history, the works of our great writers and tales from faraway lands should be cherished and open to anyone who wants to use them. That we are helping local governments paying for these cultural institutions is something in which we all should take great pride. As for article two, do you want tigers on leashes in our streets? Venomous snakes living in the apartment next door? We in the Moderate Voice of Reason Party prefer our streets tiger free, thank you very much! As for nuclear power, that is a tough issue and one that is worth considering. |

Message | "Local governements are not unaccountable for their actions. If people are continually attacked by wild animals, the local government will impose new regulation to save themselves from losing the next election." |

Random fact: The people in your nation don't like inactive parties. When you often abstain from voting for a bill, they will dislike your party and your visibility to the electorate will decrease significantly. Low visibility will means you are likely to lose seats. So keep in mind: voting Yes or No is always better than Abstaining. |
