| Message | (OOC: Trying to win votes by moving your party in-line to the political opinions of the country? HA) This is ridiculous. It would, in theory, allow some local governments to implement extreme policies especially on issues such as abortion. It would also several weaken the state and would without question leave local governments feeling that they have a chance to break-away from Trigunia. |

| Message | If a state wants to leave Trigunia and create an own state, they can if they want. We have nothing against it. We adressed your concerns considering the culture, language and this is how we try to solve it. |
