| Message | For a socialist nation, our Republic has quite outdated land ownership laws. We propose giving each community the democratic authority to make adjustments as appropriate to land allocations. |

| Message | We support neutral bodies determining compensation, but we definitely support article 1. We only support ED for critical governance purposes, but we'll agree with localized determination for now. |
