Date | 15:57:44, March 18, 2014 CET | From | Conservative Unitarian Party | To | Debating the Economic Act II, November 3637 |
Message | Articles 4, 5 and 7 are an infringement upon the rights of the citizens of Vorona. Article 1 opens up the children of Vorona to be taken advantage of, and is somewhat contradictory considering that education is mandatory for children until the age of 18. Additionally, Article 6 will most likely spell economic disaster in some sectors of the economy. Thus, we cannot support this bill. |
