Description[?]:
| We want to put an end to advertisements altogether after the succesful reduction that passed legislation recently. We do not believe commercial advertising of any kind contributes to society and to avoid any commerce-government schemes in which businesses pay their government to display their advertisements, we think it is best to reserve announcements for the institution that needs to communicate to it's populace: the government. Because good and clear communication between government and it's People is essential to a healthy system. |

| Random fact: Cabinet ministers who disagree seriously with the head of government would usually be expected to resign. Parties within the cabinet may attempt to manoeuvre to replace the head of government though, for example by proposing a new cabinet bill or voting for an early election. |
