Message | This is disgusting. The Omnibus Decentralization Act was passed by a democratically elected legislature. By attempting to overturn, the NPP shows their true contempt for the voters of Athlorcaea. |
Date | 15:23:35, March 01, 2009 CET | From | Roccato Anarcho-Syndicalist Union | To | Debating the Repealing the Omnibus Decentralization Act |
Message | Furthermore, this bill is a charade. The NPP is shamelessly trying to expand eminent domain PAST pre-ODA levels. |

Message | We are voting to repeal this democratically elected legislature by democratic means. If the voters don't want it passed, then it won't be passed. However, it looks like the voters don't really like the Omnibus Decentralization Act. |

Message | It doesn't look like that at all. The NPP is using a facade of centralism to pass a fascist eminent domain measure. |
