Message | The RP is all for putting the power of the government into the smallest possible level, and this is one of are party's key principles. However there are some parts in this bill that go a bit to far. Article 4 for needs to be Omited or modified, as schooling standards across the nation are important. Article 1 must be Omited as with international trade it most be a combined effort from the nation to get more advantageous deals, rather then a large onsomble fighting only another for scraps. |
