Message | Herr Speaker, So, your theory is to reduce national representation and increase local representation? How does this do that precisely? How are we increasing local representation by reducing national representation? What efforts are being made by the "People's" government to increase representation in the "provinces"? Othmar Bödeker, Social Nationalist Party Representative |

Message | Mr. Speaker Obviously as a party with only 13 seats we are only able to do so much, we are calling on all parties to question how local governance happens. We are calling for this first step to reduce unnecessary expenditure at the national level and should this bill pass (which appears unlikely) then we would begin to work with the Government to craft local reforms to have in place at the next election. Ivy Robinson LFP Leader |

Message | Herr Robinson, This hardly reduces expenditure for the government in Haldor, you axe the representation of the people and then presume that you will be elected to make change? Instead, you should effect change through compromise with fellow politician parties. Local governance in Dorvik has remained quite popular for quite sometime. Once again, the Liberal Futures Party refuses to buy into the Dorvish identity and refuses to even come close to accepting the fact that this is not the Holy Luthori Empire. Othmar Bödeker, Social Nationalist Party Representative |

Message | Mr. Speaker, Its clear that this is just a LFP call for more power in the parliament. If you want more power, Mr. Robinson, then please just propose things that are of more use to our nation. Arthur Urquhart, PCPD Chairman |

Message | Mr. Speaker, Sadly I must interrupt the important work of this house to remind my friend in the PCPD that I am in fact a woman. Perhaps his inability to distinguish between men and women does not bode well for his electoral chances in the next election. MRS. Ivy Robinson, LFP Leader |

Random fact: In cases where players introduce RP laws to a nation and then leave, Moderation reserves the discretion to declare the RP laws void if they appear to have fallen into disuse. In particular, please bear in mind that a player who is inexperienced with Particracy role-play and has joined a nation as the only party there should not generally be expected to abide by RP laws implemented by previous players who have been and left. |
