| Message | In Forest Management I think it will be better "Local governments are required to operate forestry agencies, which own and manage all forest land.". I'm not in agreement with the second article, I think that miliary may not be called to help never, so the Labour Party will vote no. |

| 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. |
