| Message | I agree. Devolution of powers is a good way for various different communities to detirmine what is acceptable for them and to apply their own rates on issues, rather than the whole country just having to tolerate the same thing.

| Message | Respectfully, To our esteemed colleagues of the Peoples Party. There are currently talks being conducted about this very proposal. As I said to you, this fundamentally does align with our federalist governing principal. Though with recent controversies I have my concerns. Nothing more and nothing less. We do appreciate the sincere question however. |
