Message | This bill has some major problems. Not having multiple citizenships registered will be a major headache, and allowing anyone to claim citizenship would make it harder to integrate immigrants. Identity cards are necessary to enforce age limits, guarantee benefits and also for law enforcement. As far as government salaries, having no salary would mean that only the independent wealthy could sit in the National Assembly (or else MPs would have to work multiple jobs - not good for their constituents). Therefore, we oppose this bill. |

Message | The State should be abolished and that's what we think and will do when we reach the power. Fascists and communists like you are the enemies of freedom. |

Message | It's silly of you to call us communists, as we have maintained and even deepened the democratic policies in this country. And don't presume to tell us about the abolition of the State, as we have a strong anarcho-syndicalist wing. Why do you think we've devolved so many things to the local level? You would merely replace a democratic state with the rule of the corporations. People will be "free", but that "freedom" will mean nothing when they lack adequate healthcare, housing, social security and public services (utilities, libraries/museums, transit). With stripped down rights for workers, wages will decline drastically as well. Honestly, what about this sounds like an ideal, stateless society? The true anarchist is also in favor of communal ownership. |

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. |
