Message | As long as the truth in labeling laws are enforced, the citizens are quite capable of deciding for themselves what to put into their bodies. They do not need a paternalistic local government to tell them, any more than they need a national government for this. |
Date | 02:35:32, November 18, 2005 CET | From | Front for State Prosperity | To | Debating the Recreational Drug Use Reform |
Message | We agree with the RLP. |
Date | 05:59:55, November 18, 2005 CET | From | Representative Party | To | Debating the Recreational Drug Use Reform |
Message | We don't think this matter should be left to local governments. Variations in drugs laws between regions could lead to opportunities that could be exploited easily by criminal syndicates. |

Random fact: The people in your nation don't like inactive parties. When you often abstain from voting for a bill, they will dislike your party and your visibility to the electorate will decrease significantly. Low visibility will means you are likely to lose seats. So keep in mind: voting Yes or No is always better than Abstaining. |
Random quote: Although I understand and respect the intentions behind the gesture, this is not something that is universally understood or appreciated, and it tends to give out a negative impression of our party. ~ Anton Weinreich, General Secretary of the Dorvish Communist Party, pleading with his members to stop burning the national flag |
