| Message | We can support some of proposed articles, but not all legislation. We vote "no" simply because voting begun without any discussion. |
| Date | 02:07:08, July 03, 2009 CET | From | Rutanian Heritage Party | To | Debating the Agenda |
| Message | A society without order is an anarchic one - while this may appeal to the RGP, for anyone who understands that morality, social decency, culture and custom are vital institutions that hold our civilized society together, it is not a desireable or feasible option. |
