Date | 08:20:52, September 12, 2008 CET | From | Conservative Party of Aloria | To | Debating the Marriage Devolution |
Message | While the Conservative Party supports devolution in theory, the definition of marriage is, at this time, too important an issue to not regulate federally. |

Message | We agree on the Conservatives. Besides, marriages and divorices are one of our key issues, we can't vote for devolution on them. |

Random quote: "Many forms of Government have been tried, and will be tried in this world of sin and woe. No one pretends that democracy is perfect or all-wise. Indeed, it has been said that democracy is the worst form of government except all those other forms that have been tried from time to time." - Winston Churchill |
