| Date | 18:46:20, July 15, 2010 CET | From | Libertarian Party of Darnussia | To | Debating the Getting rid of the conservative laws. |
| Message | A government not limited by some kind of constitutional law is going to be a lot more arbitrary in its enacting of polices that I, and I would assume you, consider tyranny. You could definitely argue that the Constitution doesn't limit the government enough, but that would call for amendments to it; not the abolishing of it altogether. |

| Random fact: RP laws follow the same passing rules as in-game variable laws. Laws that are not of a constitutional nature require a simple majority "Yes" vote from active parties currently holding seats. Laws that are of a constitutional nature require a 2/3 majority "Yes" vote from active parties currently holding seats. RP laws may be abolished a simple majority vote this applies to ANY RP law. |
