Message | Who is still to say that Henry did not support it. It is still not quite what we had it at, but it is still a hell of a lot better than it was when you were controlling it. That is fact, vote are just votes, but the fact remains that under you the economy did worse and under us it does better. |
Date | 19:42:28, February 21, 2009 CET | From | Federal Coalition | To | Debating the Unionist Manifesto |
Message | We cannot endorse any of these proposals with the exception of Article XV. It is our belief that government should be as devolved as possible to grant the maximum amount of self-government to the citizenry. Any interference with the sovereignty of the provinces of Alduria will be met with a "no" vote by us. |
