| Message | Felines, ladies, and gentlemen of the Grand Cat Parlour, Most of these proposals we oppose as it would increase the role of government over our lives. As libertarians, we oppose this. We may be amenable to passing Article 2 after some debate on it, however. -Rodentia Hunter, GotM Candidate for Felis Supremis in 3332 |
| Date | 21:31:33, July 11, 2012 CET | From | Union for a Sovereign Future | To | Debating the Foreign Policy |
| Message | The Union is a pro-Internationalist party, however we feel that this bill gives up too much of our sovereignty, or at least sends a wrong message to the international community. We do not support the current provisions, but nor do we support this bill in its current form. |
