| Message | We as Party have an Official Stance, And here we present our stance. We do not Want to Change the Title of the president, we also feel that the Parliament shall not change names unless the people feel so, We also want OUR CHILDREN to sing national anthems everyday before school and after schoo, thus such ensuring our future as a great nation. as for the national animal and sport, we support the licorm and Football(soccer) to be the candidates. we might want to ask for editing in part to the authoring party. Thank you |

| Message | I agree that the national anthem should be sung by our children, and I believe that football (soccer) would be a better national sport. As for Article 1, 2 and 6, these are unnessecary. Our words work and should not be changed on a whim. If anything Region should become State. Other than that, Parliament and President are just fine. |
