| Message | "The demand by the CBD is not a call for a stronger, more efficient form of government, but merely an attempt to restrict civil liberty and destroy our economy and education system. This is just an attempt to create a factor to allow the use of violence by pointing at us as the problem. I call for every party to resolve different and disagreement in democratic way. We're a civilized country and I believe we can respect democracy. I will not use violence if the bill pass." Laurel Holland MP, Atabeg Accipitrum |

| Message | WHIP will stand with our sister Imperial party fully in this matter. We find the CBD's "demand" to be not only outrageous but a violation of the very principles of Constitutional Monarchy by which our Empire exists. |

| Random quote: "We must show that liberty is not merely one particular value but that it is the source and condition of most moral values. What a free society offers to the individual is much more than what he would be able to do if only he were free. We can therefore not fully appreciate the value of freedom until we know how a society of free men as a whole differs from one in which unfreedom prevails." - Friedrich August Hayek |
