| Message | I presume you mean he's not a radical capitalist like yourself? Honestly, this is a very mild bill and I don't see why you would vote to have no national postal service. At present, the government cannot take part in the postal service or regulate it. The private postal agencies are running amok charging whatever prices they like and conforming to whatever standards they choose. We need a reliable postal service that is nationwide and that will set a standard for the other postal serivces to try and measure up to. |

| Random fact: The people in your nation don't like inactive parties. When you often abstain from voting for a bill, they will dislike your party and your visibility to the electorate will decrease significantly. Low visibility will means you are likely to lose seats. So keep in mind: voting Yes or No is always better than Abstaining. |
