| Message | The Confederates do not understand we cannot delegate policies as important as these to local governments. You claim we oppress people or force our policies on citizens: this is simply not true. We pursue progressive legislation to ensure equality and fairness across the board: but the Confederates are hell-bent on devolving key powers local governments where they shouldn't be going. It is very concerning to see the Confederates cannot see what is right and what is wrong: we want to help people pursue their own goals and live a long and healthy life with all the benefits of living in Beluzia, but the Confederates want to take away these freedoms and important regulations and give the power to decide these policies to local governments: which puts the livelihoods of our citizens on the line. We are hopeful the Confederates will see the light - and at the very least disband their militia instead of preaching hate and victimizing all manner of people for not falling in line with their parties' ideals. We do not want armed conflict, but by putting these harmful and unnecessary bills before Parliament, this party, this government and our people will only see conflict as an inevitability. |
