Description[?]:
| OOC: Just wanted to get a bill processed with some of the key agenda of my party included, so I know it will look a tad extreme. Also just let me know if there's any protocols I have unwittingly ignored in terms of creating a new party. Nice to meet you all! Mr Speaker, The newly formed Alorian Parti Bishopal wish to introduce the following articles to the senate, we do not expect the motion to pass but we merely wish at this stage to engage discussion on the topic of religion and to set out our ideological stances to the voters. |
