| Message | No, this is *removing* legislation that is basically a solution to a problem that just did not exist. Except perhaps in the prurient minds of the most conservative members of the public. |

| Random fact: Party candidates for head of state elections are not visible to the public. This means that you cannot see who will run and who will not, which adds another strategic element to the elections. |
