Message | This is a very curious mix of liberal and statist ideology. As we are a party of the centre, we oppose them all. We would in particular like to comment that the subject matter of Article 2 is a matter not sufficiently important to warrant national legislation. It should rightfully be left to local governments. |

Random fact: By default the head of government is the ultimate authority within a national government. In general terms, heads of government are expected to consult with cabinet colleagues (including those from other parties) before making significant decisions but they remain responsible for government action. |
