Message | Article 2 is a disgrace and against democracy. Afer the next election, when we should have enough seats to out vote the Workers' Party, the URV would vote in favour if Article 1 was not included, Article 2 was not included and Article 3 was reduced to 100 or 150. |

Message | Article 2 against democracy? We don't have any time to debate bills right now, that's a disgrace. Having the shortest possible parliamentary term is nothing more than a hassle. |
