| Message | Articles 1 and 2 (Campaign Finance and Seperation of Powers) we'd happily support. Article 3 (Adulthood) runs contrary to a reform we passed in the previous Assembly. Article 4 makes us uneasy - we'd possibly support presumed consent, but harvesting might be a step to far. Since this is technicaly a constitutional bill, it would require the support of three of the four largest parties to pass. For that reason we'll wait and see which way the other Assembly members vote before making our decision. |

| Message | We submitted this bill to bring to the attention of our people the inadequacy of our 'ruling' classes, elected to then abstain on all motions. We know this motion will not pass regardless of its merits. On the basis of organs, we know that we can save more people and prevent needless death. Coupled with our new weapons policies, our proposals for funding for children and new polyamourous relationships, we have proposed the best way forward, a nation of vibrancy and joy and sensation and violent death, colour and bleakness. More lives, and more lives lived. |
