| Message | We capitalist parties are all in favour of reducing the amount of money that government wastes, but I think there are more sensible ways of approaching it than reducing our representation. Don't forget that we have unicameral legislature and no constitutional constraints on government in this country - this is all the debate that there is going to be on a bill. This is the only chance to stop a bad law from being passed. We need as many voices as possible in the Parliament. Seriously, just how many Rabols are you going to save by cutting the seats? If you are so worried about money, we suggest you stop proposing expensive and inappropriate wastes of taxpayer money like civilian conscription and government intervention in housing, gambling, food, fireworks(!), mandatory pensions, nudity, energy etc etc. Not to mention all those industry subsidies. |
