| Message | Is there an option between "strictly regulated" and "no regulations?" We would much prefer that. As it is, we worry about children being taught the more hateful aspects of some esxtremist religions, and would prefer some level of regulation, although we admit strongly regulating them does seem a bit intolerant. If there was a way to get less strict regulations, we would vote for it, We would vote for article 1 on its on. As it stands, we will abstain unless convinced other wise. |

| Message | Unfortunately, PSFVP, there is no in-between option, though we the Normand Pluralist Party would favour a more neutral option (such as "with minimal regulation") , as you suggest. As it is, we believe that no regulation, while slightly risky, is better than such extreme regulations as we currently have. |
