| Message | We strongly request that the WRP, as well as all other parties, refrain from combining unrelated articles in single pieces of legislation. Article 1, for instance, is a matter of civil liberties, whereas the other articles are concerned with both government size and regulations. This presents a difficult dilemma to other parties, who must choose between two evils--either abstaining and diminishing visibility quantitatively, or voting and distorting the visibility qualitatively. |
