| Date | 18:52:34, March 06, 2012 CET | From |  Left Libertarian Alliance of Cats | To | Debating the Felinist Democratic reform act |
| Message | The following is our Party's stance on the legislation to be voted on: Article I: This seems to be an ongoing point of disagreement between our parties, so we wish to inform the news media in attendance that after the next election we will work to re-privatize the defense sector. Article II: We oppose this, but not strongly. We do see the value in religious stabilization. Article III: Requiring foreign investors to get government approval will make the capital raising efforts of Barmenian corporations far more difficult. We oppose this measure. Article IV: We think that regional immigration policies should be handled at the local level. Article V: We prefer an open borders policy. Article VI: We prefer to let people make their own choices. Article VII: We oppose this, but not strongly. A test seems like a rational method. Article VIII: We are skeptical at the governments capabilities in terms of chemical regulations. We do not think that the government will be able to do an effective job at this. Article IX: We support this. Article X: We oppose this, but if this is the beginning of a Lionist effort to improve our position in space, then we are excited to see it play out. -GALT FREYJA, Chief Servant of the Cats (Outgoing) |

| Random fact: Moderation will not accept Cultural Protocol updates which introduce, on a significant scale, cultures which are likely to be insufficiently accessible to players. In particular, for all significant cultures in Particracy, it should be easy for players to access and use online resources to assist with language translation and the generation of character names. Moderation reserves the right to amend Cultural Protocols which are deemed to have introduced significant cultures that are not sufficiently accessible and which are not being actively role-played with. |
