| Message | Well, we don't think that we should let any tom dick and harry be citizen of our great nation. Surely, being a citizen means something more than that? |

| Message | The fundamental principle of democracy is that the people choose the government they want, how can the government therefore choose which people are suitable to choose the government? This is the worst elitism imaginable. Despite our fundamental political differences with them we salute the DFM as fellow democrats unlike the parties which have voted against this. |

| Random fact: Particracy allows you to establish an unelected head of state like a monarch or a president-for-life, but doing this is a bit of a process. First elect a candidate with the name "." to the Head of State position. Then change your law on the "Structure of the executive branch" to "The head of state is hereditary and symbolic; the head of government chairs the cabinet" and change the "formal title of the head of state" to how you want the new head of state's title and name to appear (eg. King Percy XVI). |
