Message | Parliament might be better and less verbose. I opposed renaming Parliament the PFP in the first place, however its now traditional and I don't see the advantage of changing it to what LP suggests. If the PFp wants to change its name, it can address something the URP pointed out when the name was created - its divisive. "Peoples" suggests division. True we are many ethnicities, but are we not one people? Parliament of Free People might be an improvement. |

Message | Some time ago I suggested just Parliament but was rejected. I think Parliament of Free Peoples is rather out of date, we don't have slavery or anything like that. |
Date | 19:33:35, May 01, 2008 CET | From | Lodamun Libertarian Party | To | Debating the Parliament Name Change Act |
Message | I would support changing it to Parliament of Free People or simply Parliament, but I think Parliament of the United Republics of Lodamun is too long |
