| Message | We certainly object to the Tsar being deposed, of course. And we don't really support any of the artcles, with the possible exception of Article 2. |
| Date | 03:46:21, June 15, 2008 CET | From | Family and Tradition Party (disbanded) | To | Debating the Liberation from Central Authority |
| Message | Likewise - we support Article 2, but whilst we agree with the local sentiment of some of the other articles, there are certain very important morality-based laws that should never be changed, and we believe that certain behaviours should remain illegal on a national level - these include abortion and drug-use. |
