| Message | Mr Speaker, We believe that the current amount of foreign aid is sufficient. It is immoral and irresponsible to offer to increase foreign aid while we have austerity infused policies at home. As for Article 1, we believe it would just encourage misbehaviour by diplomats who after all are not saints but mere mortals like the rest of us Pablo Diaz Party Leader PSO Gevaro |

You need to establish your party's position on issues by proposing several bills that your party wants passed and sending them to vote. This raises your visibility and if you do it enough, you will win seats at the next election. |
