| Message | We need national standards on food safety to insure maximum safety of our citizens. |
| Date | 02:46:57, February 18, 2015 CET | From | Protestant Democratic Union | To | Debating the Food Bill |
| Message | One-size does not always fit all. By empowering local governments, citizens will be able to craft the best policies for their communities. The free market of ideas and information will drive out unsafe and outdated standards. Perhaps, local standards may exceed current national standards. Let the people decide. |

| Random fact: Particracy allows you to establish an unelected head of state like a monarch or a president-for-life, but doing this is a bit of a process. First elect a candidate with the name "." to the Head of State position. Then change your law on the "Structure of the executive branch" to "The head of state is hereditary and symbolic; the head of government chairs the cabinet" and change the "formal title of the head of state" to how you want the new head of state's title and name to appear (eg. King Percy XVI). |
