| Message | "The abortion article... maybe. The COMPLETE deregulation of alcohol and tobacco? Not a prayer. The organ donation thing... maybe. The sports clubs thing... probably not. Complete deregulation of an absolute essential like energy? No way. But then the random stuff... where do the name changes feature in all this? Why change historical titles for no reason? And the removal of all taxation? How fiscally irresponsible are the Berosian party? There's nothing moderate about this bill. We don't have to feel at all conflicted about ignoring this extremist nonsense." --Speech from The One True God, Zhelezo Immeressen. |

| Message | We see only a few problems with this bill (like article 8.) although they are not significant enough for us to vote against. |
