| Message | It was these very practices under the Colinist communists that lead to the collapse of our beloved Malivia's economy. Only after King Christian drove the Colinists from power were we able to rid ourselves of the greedy and corrupt unions. The removal of these vile organizations allowed the roots of the free market to sprout anew and revive the nations dying economy - creating millions of much needed jobs. The Freedom Party will not abide this disregard of the King's love for his people by allowing such a bill to pass. |
