| Message | Mr. Speaker We understand that you might assume that we're a foreign party. But we're a normal Jelbanian political party, that has secular cosmopolitan views. Surely there isn't anything wrong with that, afterall we're not using force and abide mostly by atheist or sufist ideas. We respect your opinion and we'll see whose opinion is more popular with the people in the election. -Greyist Democrats. |
