Message | Against both. Food standards are not something we may mess with, and an educational TV station is good for providing news and cultural services. |

Message | And if you are willing to save precious taxes, why did you propose to increase the number of representatives? |

Message | The money saved by removing these extraneous services will save more money than the new reps would take. Anyways, we just want a more effective government, whatever that may mean |

Message | They are not extraneous services. Something that improves the living standards of Kanjorians is not extraneus to the state. |
Date | 22:19:21, September 08, 2005 CET | From | Kanjoran People's Party | To | Debating the Smaller Government Act #1 |
Message | I agree with SHP on this one. Both of these help the Kanjorans through improving health and cultural awareness. The food safety standards are especially important. And doesn't adding new Reps just add bureacracy to the government? Typically bureacracy decreases effiency. |

Message | Agree with part two, dissagree with part one. |

Random fact: Particracy does not allow real-life brand names (eg. Coca Cola, McDonalds, Microsoft). However, in the case of military equipment brand names it is permitted to use simple number-letter combinations (eg. T-90 and F-22) borrowed from real life, and also simple generic names, like those of animals (eg. Leopard and Jaguar). |
