| Message | Allowing public nudity will cause a lot of suffering in many people; most citizens will not feel comfortable in seeing naked persons while walking around the city. And if you are sitting in the bus and a particularly ugly guy sits at your side? It's an invasion of the personal privacy of the other. It reduces the freedom of common folks who doesn't want to be naked - they'll be forced to see someone's else private parts. Also, it reduces hygiene on, for example, bus seats, park banks and other objects of common use. And naked girls - both on TV and on the streets - represent an increase of the psychological weight on the back of the shy nerds who aren't the "alpha male" that young women lamentably tend to prefer. We support article 3. - Party President Caroline Hellekin. |

| Message | We could stipulate that naked people sit on a towl in public places but in a free society no one has the right not to not be offended. We support body freedom and the idea that the government has no place telling people what to wear. |
