Date | 23:29:14, October 14, 2013 CET | From | The National Front (NF) | To | Debating the General Reform Act #2 |
Message | The National Front agrees with the general premises of the bill; however, party leadership has agreed that we cannot support it in its entirety. Article 3 jeopardizes an important security measure that is in place to protect our citizens from crime from within and without. Article 4 calls into question the ability of the national government to effectively run the national power grid; the National Front believes that this policy is necessary and vital to the welfare of the nation, and thus is within the realm of proper use of state power. Article 7 allows for completely unregulated advertising, which could include subliminal techniques capable of undermining the nation and further destabilizing the populace. |
