| Message | The Working People's Alliance, despite its current lack of parliamentary representation, gives full and unconditional support to the new Civil Rights Act. We hope that Civil Rights and Sexual Offences Acts become the first in a series of new laws which will serve to purge all discriminatory legislation from the legal system of Beluzia and Bailon. |
