| Message | This is a highly contradictory set of articles, possibly set forth to manipulate the results of the next election by forcing parties to vote against some articles they may otherwise be in favor of. This is not a new party on the scene, folks, but an experienced party that has, in the distant Zardugali past, held a lot of governmental power, and is now being revived. I urge you to consider placing your votes carefully. |
