Message | While we dislike this bill, we do like that you are going to have a naming system for your bills. Ours ourself is a bit unwieldy and arbitrary, but hey, uniqueness is what makes the world interesting. |

Message | OOC: I just realized that I forgot to hit the change button, and that the title of the bill is "title" when it should be Centralization Positioning Bill (IC.G.5.2495.1) |

Message | OOC: Yes, that is quite odd lol |
Date | 03:48:00, December 04, 2007 CET | From | 帝国公明党 (Teikoku Kōmeitō) | To | Debating the title |
Message | We'd support some of these if there were some discussion of them, like local governments are allowed to deal with illegal immigrants, but are forbidden from doing some things. |
Date | 05:18:04, December 04, 2007 CET | From | Normand Pluralist Party | To | Debating the title |
Message | The Normand Pluralist Party thoroughly endorses this bill. Localization of government is exactly what we need here in Sekowoinstead of federally controlled mandates which may or may not reflect the needs and desires of local regions, localizing these issues will allow regional governments to address their own needs as they see most expedient. |

Random fact: When you join the game, you will find yourself with only zero seats. That's because your party's representatives haven't been elected yet. You need to establish your party's position on issues by proposing several bills that your party wants passed and sending them to vote. This raises your visibility and if you do it enough, you will win seats at the next election. |
