| Message | We will support if article 2 is modified to allow medical testing on animals with restrictions. This would allow for medications to be tested before being tested on humans, but we agree regulations should be in place to stop any unnecessary cruelty. |

| Random fact: Party candidates for head of state elections are not visible to the public. This means that you cannot see who will run and who will not, which adds another strategic element to the elections. |
