| Message | Pesticides like DDT are not harmful to humans. There is no health concern there. As for the others, we of the Konservativ Partei are of the opinion that recycling should be offered, but not mandatory. In a follow-up bill, perhaps, we could get behind some enforced pollution controls, but heavily restricted controls limit our ability to produce. We are a middle economy with heavy dependence on manufacturing and until we can grow into a cleaner, service-based economy we cannot stifle what we already have. |

| Random fact: In order for a Cabinet bill to pass, more than half of the legislature must vote for it and all of the parties included in the proposed Cabinet must support it. If your nation has a Head of State who is also the Head of Government, then the party controlling this character must also vote for the bill, since the Head of Government is also a member of the Cabinet. If any of these requirements are not met, the bill will not pass. |
