| Message | The Liberal Party is outraged by this proposed legislation for numerous reasons. Every individual deserves a citizenship, and it is frankly unfair to have the government decide who is allowed to obtain citizenship and who is not. Furthermore, the use of a pirate flag for our nation's flag is a very poor choice: it shows that we're mere bandits, when the people of Beluzia and Bailon are clearly much better people! On top of that, I do believe it is fair to say that our people are not in favor of an empire, but believe in the principle of national self-determination. We therefore strongly urge the government to withdraw this bill. |
