| Message | Mr Speaker, We support elements of this bill, Article 9, Article 6, Article 5, Article 4, Article 3 and Article 1. These are the reasons we do not support the following other Articles: Article 2: There is no reason to change this policy, we have no use for landmines because we are not at war. Landmines are dangerous and costly. Article 7: We also have no reason to increase the retirement age. Seniors already have it tough being seniors, so why increase the retirement age, it is both unreasonable to seniors and burdening to seniors. Let's respect our aged, let us remember they had it a lot harder back in the day. Article 8: This is simply outrageous, 12 year old simply do not have the ability to take care of themselves without a guardian to guide them. Yes they are not new born babies but they aren't adults either. Should a 12 year old boy going through puberty be allowed to drive? Article 10: We should not have mandatory military services in this country. We are not a war waging country, so why this want of more military? We have the adequate tools and manpower already from men and women who joined the military on their own behalf. Let us not force persons to do any sort of military service whatsoever. We will not support this bill unless our interest and the people of Baltusia's interests are met. |

| Random fact: When you join the game, you will find yourself with only zero seats. That's because your party's representatives haven't been elected yet. You need to establish your party's position on issues by proposing several bills that your party wants passed and sending them to vote. This raises your visibility and if you do it enough, you will win seats at the next election. |
