| Message | Mr. Speaker, Article 1 would be a step backward. Why does the UNMP want one private company to dominate? This would basically be the same as having it nationalised as its services will become of poor quality due to lack of competition. Article 2 is an infringement on civil liberties. Keymon people have the common sense not to walk around in the nude anyway without having the government to tell them what to do, although, if they wish to do so it is their choice. Article 3 isn't an improvement and would potentially result in worse medical drugs. Article 4 is too costly for the government to endorse. If the people wish to recycle they can do so in their own homes or privately as a community. |
