| Message | Obviously they haven't shown their support for such measures, or they would not have been removed so many times. The traditional Beluzian culture is stronger than any upstart liberal party can alter. One way or the other, the People always return to their roots. |

| Message | They've only been repealed once on a technicality, when the fascist PPP has illegitimately gained power in the Federal Assembly that was promptly stripped from them in the following election. The so-called "traditional" Beluzian culture you talk of not only do not exist, but is simply a huge lie and goes against the real values that Beluzians have always stand for. Perhaps the PPP should listen the people for once, instead of pretending to stand for a populace that have consistently supported the Liberal Party. |
