| Message | We can't support this, sorry. However, please don't give up. With every bill such as this, you differentiate your party more from the three Leftist Coalition ones in the minds of the voters, and you'll probably win more seats in future elections as a result. That's the same reason why KPJP keep introducing nationalist and isolationist bills, even though they keep getting voted down since we're currently the only nationalist-isolationist party here. |

| Random fact: In Culturally Protected nations, special care must be taken to ensure realism is maintained when role-playing a government controlled by an ethnic and/or religious minority. If it is to be supposed that this government is supported by a majority of the population, then this should be plausibly and sufficiently role-played. The burden of proof is on the player or players role-playing such a regime to demonstrate that it is being done realistically |
