| Message | Mr Speaker, I find the language used by the NEPP leader to be very unfortunate and irresponsible in nature. The NEPP shows its unfitness for public office if its leader calls the unfortunate "losers". That said, we oppose this measure as we feel that the current measures are quitesilufficient for a,safety net. Traian Ponta Chairman of the Moderate Party |

| Random fact: In cases where players introduce RP laws to a nation and then leave, Moderation reserves the discretion to declare the RP laws void if they appear to have fallen into disuse. In particular, please bear in mind that a player who is inexperienced with Particracy role-play and has joined a nation as the only party there should not generally be expected to abide by RP laws implemented by previous players who have been and left. |
