| Message | What do you mean, herr Sprecher? Why are these propositions unrelated? All of the things adressed in this bill are problems our dear nation is facing. At least these progressive liberty loving bills do not swing our nation back into the Stone Age like your racist proposals. - Rolf Holst, President of Dorvik & Chairman of the DR |
| Date | 12:44:54, March 24, 2012 CET | From | Dorvische Partei | To | Debating the National Reformation Act of 3277 |
| Message | You have mixed economic, social, agricultural and diplomatic proposals together, with no logic to the approach. What does the diplomatic status of Foreign Diplomats have to do with public works? What does the export of weapons have to do with domestic animal ownership? This is a toxic Bill designed purely to hurt others parties visibilities and issue positions. And you should not trivialise the racial views of the Dorvische population. There is a reason why nationalist parties have always done well in this country. People before profit. |
