| Message | We usually agree with decentralization and delegation as a party, but these are laws which shouldn't be left to local government and we should all have the same law everywhere for. For example, how are local governments supposed to deal with Population Growth? Surely, this is an issue for the Foreign and Interior Ministries and their civil servants about border control, one region and one local government cannot dictate about immigration for their area and not have national government know about who is and who isn't coming into our country.

| Message | We oppose this much localization, but as a side note could support article 5 alone |
