| Message | 1- Adoption- I'd have no problem with devolution of adoption services, but I still think that it is important that we are vigilant on bad parenting and making sure that kids find the childcare they need. Regulation at the top with maximum flexibility for the lower levels of government. 2- Adultery- Agree 3- Arranged marriages- agree 4- Bestiality- Agree 5- Weapons- agree 6- Nudity- Agree 7- Polygamy- agree 8- Public affection- agree |
