| Message | First of all I would like to welcome you to Kirlawa IULP! I believe that we will agree on many social issues as I am liberal and you seem to be left! I support this bill to an extent, I support all but article 2 and 5 this is just to ensure that we are not letting Terra wide criminals into our country :) So if you could take those out and put them into another bill, my party would be happy to support! :) |
