Description[?]:
| As the New Minister for Finance I believe that these changes must be made, to protect our animals, plants, and our own people. We must make suer that fishing regulations are the same throughout the country so as to insure confusion does not occur, and to make sure that our fish are not wiped out. We must enforce our welfare standards to protect the rights of animals. And we must make farmers tell everyone what pesticides have been used on their crops. Lily Evans Minister for Food and Agriculture Conservative Party |

| Random fact: Any RP law granting extraordinary "emergency powers" or dictator-like powers to a government must be passed by at least a 2/3rds majority, but (like all RP laws) may always be overturned by a simple majority vote of the legislature. |
