| Message | OOC: Oh finally a third party... PLEASE stay active lol, I'm sorry of a duopoly :P IC: The Dominion Party appaludes the introduction of the Jelbic National Party and welcomes them to the Dominion Parliament with their first Bill. Article One - The Dominion Party agrees with this Article completely. As long as the Banks are either widely nationally private or all private is all that matters to the Dominion Party MPs. Article Two - We neither approve or disapprove of this Article. Article Three - The Dominion Party is adamantly against this Article. Multinationalism is a tenant that all Jelbanians should be able to enjoy and increases our status in the international community. Article Four - The Dominion Party can agree to this although we would rather the matter be left to the Regional Governments. Article Five - We are neither for or against this Article, though we view having the Radio Stations all private as not a bad thing. Article Six - We absolutely are against this Article and will vote against this Bill as long as this Article is included. Article Seven - We are neither for or against this Article. Article Eight - We are against this article as it interferes with the individual states rights. Article Nine - We can agree to this as it helps introduce a more common Jelbanian identity. Article Ten - We are adamantly against this and will vote against this Bill as long as it remains in it. Women having been serving for years on the front lines with other men and proved to be worthwhile combanants during the Great Dovani War. Because of the current inclusions of Articles Six and Ten we will be voting against this. Abigail Woodbury Leader of the Opposition. |

| Message | OOC: Same sentiments with the Dominion Party really lol IC: Article 1 - The GNP unequivocally disagrees. We need a central bank to help regulate and formulate financial and banking policies and protocols. The current system allows for the prevalence of private banks, and thus free market, so we see no need in amending it. Article 2 - The GNP believes that only parties that hold seats in Parliament should have the power to propose or bargain for cabinets/coalitions. Article 3 - For the reasons already Articulated by the Dominion Party, we too isagree. We may support Articles 4 and 5 Article 6 - We are neither for or against it Article 7 - The Emperor, being the highest dignity of the state, is the the fount of honor, and as such has the exclusive right of conferring legitimate titles of nobility and orders of chivalry to other persons. Article 8 - We wish to have the current system in place. Article 9 - We may not support this. Article 10 - Strongly against. This is a clear discrimination of our female service personnel in the armed forces. Because of our opposition to majority of the provisions of this bill, we vote nay, and will continue to do so for every future bill that will contain the provisions that we would want struck out of this piece of legislation.
