| Message | KPJP would be happy to vote for the subsidies article if proposed separately, but we oppose the other two current articles, sorry. (Particracy very frequently jumbles the order in which the articles in a multi-article bill are listed. What is shown to you as "Article 3" and what is shown to me as "Article 3" could well be very different things. As a result, it's helpful to refer to the articles by description, not by numbering, please.) |
