| Message | The Conservative and Morality Party do not see this bill as benneficial to this nation and as such, we oppose with passion. We do not see why refugees should be welcomed into this nation without extreme cause and we certainly do not see any reason why this state should be paying for their care. This governement can barely get by as it is without reverting to brining in more people to be under state care. The creation of the Solentian-nanny-state will be opposed by the CMP at every turn. Moreover, this party does not see a need to grant aid to nations who have not suffered from a natural disaster. War and politics of other nations are not the concern of this government and as such, we oppose any move that would allow the executive to act abroad, whether that be through aid, warfare or otherwise.
