Description[?]:
| We have multiple laws in our country stating that private property is secure and personal. Eminent domain is one of the worst possible robbers of citizen property. In the real world we can see the havoc is causes and its the same here. There are ways for government to get what it needs without eminent domain. There are the possibility of options and they can always negotiate for the price. Using such force as eminent domain is just barbaric and we should abolish this law. |

| Random fact: In cases where a party has no seat, the default presumption should be that the party is able to contribute to debates in the legislature due to one of its members winning a seat at a by-election. However, players may collectively improvise arrangements of their own to provide a satisfying explanation for how parties with no seats in the legislature can speak and vote there. |
