| Message | Although our current government is as fair as it is beloved (read the election record and weep!), one day the people may need to defend themselves from oppression. BLP may argue their case for this. But I believe precisely the same. When the people can no longer peacefully remove governments through democracy, arms will be vital. Vigilance is the price of freedom. |

| Random fact: The people in your nation don't like inactive parties. When you often abstain from voting for a bill, they will dislike your party and your visibility to the electorate will decrease significantly. Low visibility will means you are likely to lose seats. So keep in mind: voting Yes or No is always better than Abstaining. |
