| Message | I've removed article 3. "but I don't see any point for the other ones so I'll vote no." The points of moving power to local governments is to obviously take away the power of the central government to dictate everyone's lives. I think the people at a closer, more local and more representative level can decide whats best for their communities better than some far off parliament of aristocrats. The point, my friend, is freedom. |
