| Message | We thank the pragmatic Centrist Party of Dorvik for their support, whilst we are currently a small (but growing) voice in this nation we stand on principles before power unlike our right wing overlords propped up by their 'New Ways' stooges. Only in a liberal open society can all feel included and empowered to play their part. |
