| Message | "I am speaking on behalf of the Keymnite Imperial-Monarchist Party this evening, we must oppose this bill. We believe in privatised media, despite the conveniance of haivng a publicly funded, we think that supporting a bill which prosposes public media facilities would be against our capitalist idealologies. People have always managed with Private media covereage before in Keymon and they will still so in the future. Plus it is beneficial for the economy." -Jonathan Smith, cantidate for Infrastructure and Transport for the Keymonite Imperial-Monarchist Party. |
