| Message | The Dominion Party is in favor of articles 1, 3 and 4 however would prefer local governments to retain their ability to choose their own methods of dealing with affairs. We are neither in support or against Article 2 as we don't care about how much foreign investors can invest as long as they may freely invest in our companies to stimulate and grow our economy. We are however against Article 5 as prostitution in Dominion Party states are currently under their individual state governments, which has allowed the so called "sex-trade" to become safer both for its workers and for its clients. By un-regulating them we put them at risk without government protection and oversight. Abigail Woodbury Dominion Party Chairwoman |

| Message | The reason for the inclusion of Article 5 is our opposition to the proliferation of the sextrade, which is encouraged because of the precise protection from government. Regulations and checks would still be present, as prostitution business would still be treated like any other business in the empire. Mark Fulster Minister for Trade and Industry |

| Random fact: It usually takes up to an hour for election results to generate. During this time, the "Next Election" date is put forward a month, which is confusing. Do not worry! In a short time, the election result will generate and the "Next Election" date will then correct itself. |
