Date | 03:07:05, August 06, 2008 CET | From | Spenocratic Party | To | Debating the Sensible Policies for a Happier Likatonia |
Message | The SuD say that they are the only party that are trying to keep our citizens rights, but this bill of utter garbage shows they are a pack of liars. This bill is a wretched attack on our citizens rights and has no support whatsoever from the Spenocrats. |

Message | "We have been the only party trying to keep citizen rights. We don't really want to hear anything about guns, to be honest - the whole 'armed Likatonia' problem is one that was created by the Spenocratic Party and their friends, overturning centuries of law and tradition, just to push a political agenda. Some of the other 'rights' here are being suggested for suspension - not because they harm the citizen doing them (smoking, drinking) - but because they harm others. Drunk driving, passive smoking - this isn't about one person having their rights infringed - it's about selfish people destroying quality of life for others. And we've watched this Interloper Regime attack things like prostitution, abortion, sexuality. We are amazed they could be so hypocritical as to even have the gall to speak to us on this issue". --Avar Akkad Avara. |
Date | 02:40:29, August 08, 2008 CET | From | Spenocratic Party | To | Debating the Sensible Policies for a Happier Likatonia |
Message | The Spenocrats agree with the bans on alcohol and the like, but we do not agree with disarming the citizens. If there is one freedom that shall not be taken away, it is the right to keep and bear arms. |
Date | 03:26:45, August 08, 2008 CET | From | Commonwealth Workers Army | To | Debating the Sensible Policies for a Happier Likatonia |
Message | "We disagree. We might be able to negotiate - a little - on smoking and drinking. But, an armed populace is a dangerous populace. In a civilised society, throwbacks with guns are undesirable." --Avar Akkad Avara. |

Random fact: In order for a Cabinet bill to pass, more than half of the legislature must vote for it and all of the parties included in the proposed Cabinet must support it. If your nation has a Head of State who is also the Head of Government, then the party controlling this character must also vote for the bill, since the Head of Government is also a member of the Cabinet. If any of these requirements are not met, the bill will not pass. |
