Description[?]:
| Herr Präsident, My party believes it is time to bring society back in to our broadcasting system. The current commercial system has revealed considerable deficiencies in the past century - shortly put, our broadcasting system can do so much more than just making money for shareholders. We need to take pride in quality programming, original Crownlander drama, the great anime series of our Kunihito compatriots, the brilliant documentaries - our media system is an expression of our culture, which is diverse and plural. I ask the Diet to support this bill so that our media will reflect our society once more. Maximilian Goddestreu, Bürggraf Goddestreu zu Alt-Kien MdR (HDV - Budenlar) HDV Klubobmann |

| Random quote: "A democracy that does not allow limits is not a democracy. Just as a limitless freedom is not freedom, but prevarication. Indeed, any theory of freedom worthy of this name is first of all a limit theory. If we extend the unlimited tolerance even to those who are intolerant, if we are not willing to defend a tolerant society against the attacks of the intolerants, then the tolerants will be destroyed and the tolerance with them! Because, I ask to myself and ask you, given a certain system that we call democratic, which is today the best possible system to allow everyone to live freely and to be able to express their own thoughts, how can the same system admit attacks against its integrity? How can a system refuse the principle of the self-preservation? For this reason, to suppress the apologetics of thalerrism, it's for this reason that the exaltation of exegetes, principles, facts or methods of Thallerism and its anti-democratic aims does not constitute a violation of the freedom of manifestation of thought, but, on the contrary, the celebration of that freedom. The protection of the first premise on which a modern democratic system is based. And this premise must be safeguarded also and above all against itself and its abuses." ~ Malik Astori, Leadership of Liberty and Progress (Istalia) |
