| Message | We are vehemently against article 2 and much of the other articles. Permitting soldiers to sleep with each other is an extremely bad idea both for health reasons and for security. Furthermore, localities deserve the right to maintain their own shelters. |

| Random fact: The people in your nation don't like inactive parties. When you often abstain from voting for a bill, they will dislike your party and your visibility to the electorate will decrease significantly. Low visibility will means you are likely to lose seats. So keep in mind: voting Yes or No is always better than Abstaining. |
