Message | All Brilliant. Except No. One. Sorry. That single article (that one issue is one we hold very close to our hearts) will force us to vote "no", at the expense of the others. |

Message | We would consider removing Article 1, but going by recent voting patterns, the bill would probably fail anyway with or without your party's support. |
