Message | Funny to see how 'Framstegspartiet' changes its mind all the time in an attempt to steal other parties' votes - one minute it's fascist the next minute it's ultra-libertarian. |
Date | 10:33:47, January 01, 2012 CET | From | Høyre | To | Debating the Anarkosyndikalisternas program 3236 |
Message | The Framstegspartiet was never fascist, we are voting according to our believes since this have been malformed due to the formation of other legislation and subsequent voting against it. The Framstegspartiet is a conservative libertarian organization. There are articles where we disagree and hope to correct in the near future, however the legislation is somewhat acceptable which is why we are voting for. It should hardly inconvenience you - we are in fact siding with your reforms. |

Random fact: When you join the game, you will find yourself with only zero seats. That's because your party's representatives haven't been elected yet. You need to establish your party's position on issues by proposing several bills that your party wants passed and sending them to vote. This raises your visibility and if you do it enough, you will win seats at the next election. |
