Message | My problem is I feel like this law is allowing to much leeway on standards etc to be enacted for advertising, another way of more red tape. I get your point through. Still leaning to no. |

Message | This interferes with our policy on making up stuff about how great the TFA is. So a giant NO rubber stamp. Having all this power is fun, you guys should try it some time. |

Random fact: In cases where a party has no seat, the default presumption should be that the party is able to contribute to debates in the legislature due to one of its members winning a seat at a by-election. However, players may collectively improvise arrangements of their own to provide a satisfying explanation for how parties with no seats in the legislature can speak and vote there. |
Random quote: "Those who are responsible for the national security must be the sole judges of what the national security requires. It would be obviously undesirable that such matters should be made the subject of evidence in a court of law or otherwise discussed in public." - Unattributed member of the the House of Lords on the removal of trade union rights |
