| Message | I like Article 2 and to some extent Article 4, but Articles 1 and 3 are completely ridiculous. What is the point of prohibiting crossdressing and why shouldn't people be allowed to criticise the government and publish things without its approval? |

| Random fact: It usually takes up to an hour for election results to generate. During this time, the "Next Election" date is put forward a month, which is confusing. Do not worry! In a short time, the election result will generate and the "Next Election" date will then correct itself. |
