Message | Yes, I know but we'd rather have it go further. |
Date | 17:02:52, January 24, 2009 CET | From | FCPW | To | Debating the Workers Rights and Saftey Revisited |
Message | Religion should be abolished in all public schools. Prayer should be restricted to private domains. Religious groups should be allowed to set up RELIGIOUS schools, but should not be recognized by the government. Students need actual education, and religion is a poor excuse to explain the world. All other articles are acceptable, but until the ones regarding religion are ammended to, the bill should not pass. |

Random fact: The people in your nation don't like inactive parties. When you often abstain from voting for a bill, they will dislike your party and your visibility to the electorate will decrease significantly. Low visibility will means you are likely to lose seats. So keep in mind: voting Yes or No is always better than Abstaining. |
