| Message | Yet another example of closed minded isolationism that threatens open society in Kalistan. "We need to keep all foreigners out, because they spread harmful ideas among our population, etc." or alternatively, "Foreigners are beneath us and we shouldn't be forced to associate with them." SPoK votes a proud and defiant "NO" on this piece of... er... legislation. |

| Random fact: The influence a bill has on elections decreases over time, until it eventually is no longer relevant. This can explain shifts in your party's position to the electorate and your visibility. |
| Random quote: "We must show that liberty is not merely one particular value but that it is the source and condition of most moral values. What a free society offers to the individual is much more than what he would be able to do if only he were free. We can therefore not fully appreciate the value of freedom until we know how a society of free men as a whole differs from one in which unfreedom prevails." - Friedrich August Hayek |
