| Message | Article 1: This is a form of dictatorship and allows the party of the minister of justice to decide who can appeal what. This is regressive. Article 2: The idea of curfew is ancient and dogmatic. In a descent , moral society not bound by calendars based on religion and such there is no need to impose a curfew for it is discriminatory against nocturnal citizens. Article 3: Religion has no role in modern society. Article 4: Gated communities should be set up by those who can afford them. Article 5: A medical regulatory board should not have governing powers and should not be able to determine what is malpractice which will greatly diminish standards in our society and harm our citizens further with doctors who are less fearful of making mistakes and encourage a more careless medical profession. This further strips the rights of citizens for redress and places power in political powers. Moral doctors should take responsibility for their actions ultimately. |

| 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. |
