| Message | While we are generally a small-government party, we still believe that the important institution of marriage should be regulated in some form, if only for the sake of upholding traditional values and family units. |

| Message | Anyone who wants to destroy the basis of society, that is the family, will compromise with this bill. On the other hand, our party is for a stabel society and thus will is for the family and thus is for marraige and thus is against this bill. |

| Message | We don't care either way though in the light of inheritance law etc it would be good to have some government involvement so we are rather inclined to follow the Parti d'Aristocratie, though for more practical reasons |

| Message | Very intriguing. And this could also bring in the Aldurians since the King's sister is married to the Aldurian monarch I believe. |

| Message | Imagine the King of Rildanor marrying another man? What would we do then? That would be madness. We believe traditional family values should be put in place. |
