| Message | Mr Speaker, A absurd proposal from the Metzists. Diplomatic immunity puts people ABOVE THE LAW! Now unlike your party it seems, I don't care whether you're a diplomat or not, or whoever you are, if you break the law you will be punished accordingly. Now the main argument for diplomatic immunity is to build better ties internationally, but if a diplomat breaks the law, surely that is hypocritical. No, we shall continue with the current practise of fairness and equity, not this elitist proposal! Sadiq Mandal, President of Pontesi |
