Message | Mr. Speaker, We are becoming extremely concerned, even more so than previously, regarding these totalitarian Articles that the Imperialists are putting inside their huge bills they keep proposing. 'Invasive' is off-putting enough, but to think that Alorians would have to be harassed by the government in order to receive a passport to travel is extremely concerning. However, the rest of this bill is completely supportable. I yield. |
Date | 19:44:22, February 01, 2011 CET | From | Plaid Geidwadol Traddodiadol (PGT) | To | Debating the Foreign Policy Reform Act |
Message | Mr. Speaker, We shall wait for a response from the Christian Democrats. If they agree with you, then the article will be taken out. I yield. |
Date | 06:54:10, February 02, 2011 CET | From | Labour Party | To | Debating the Foreign Policy Reform Act |
Message | Mr Speaker, I know my vote isn't really valued here, but can I just say, article 4 ruined it all, it would've been a good proposal but the article 4 has ruined it all and therefore I cannot support it as long as that article is still there. I yield. |
Date | 19:54:40, February 02, 2011 CET | From | Christian Democratic Party | To | Debating the Foreign Policy Reform Act |

Date | 09:30:23, February 03, 2011 CET | From | Republican Party (RM) | To | Debating the Foreign Policy Reform Act |
Message | Mr. Speaker, We shall support this but will seek to repeal Article 1. I yield. |

Random fact: Particracy allows you to establish an unelected head of state like a monarch or a president-for-life, but doing this is a bit of a process. First elect a candidate with the name "." to the Head of State position. Then change your law on the "Structure of the executive branch" to "The head of state is hereditary and symbolic; the head of government chairs the cabinet" and change the "formal title of the head of state" to how you want the new head of state's title and name to appear (eg. King Percy XVI). |
