Message | We fear we cannot support even one of these articles. We are wholly and entirely against it. |
Date | 01:27:08, May 05, 2008 CET | From | The Realist Party | To | Debating the The State for all. |
Message | Making such drastic changes all at once would only cause confusion and chaos. We would be willing to compromise on some of the articles, but as it stands they are all too radical in their current form. We can not give our support. |

Random quote: “The people's war isn't just a war of destruction, it is also a war of construction. We will build new facilities, new hospitals, new farms. We will seek to improve the lives of the people around us. This struggle will be as costly as the struggle against the bourgeois army, and indeed will be even more damaging to the enemy.” - Comrade X, former Hulstrian politician |
