| Message | OOC: (Btw, I know how it feels to be annoyed with your parties supposed political positions being wrong. It's SO annoying. My party is now apparently 'unitarist leaning', even though I have done nothing but vote for and propose federalist legislation from day 1. I don't think those indications can be taken seriously - they are so far off). |
