| Message | Mr. Speaker, We oppose all aspects of this bill for the following reasons: (1) We do not wish to allow corrupt nations to set up an embassy on our soil without our prior permission. I thought the Royalist party would be opposed to undemocratic nations establishing themselves here. (2) Passports for any reason is a major security risk in this highly terrorist world. We would like to keep some cursory checks in place. (3) As per the reason for article 2. The security of the nation will be harmed if we allow this proposal. We are always open to change and debate with our partners but we will not accept the destruction of the nation. Party Spokesman. |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, Undemocratic nations we don't necessarily oppose, tyrannical nations we do. But, that doesn't mean we shouldn't be able to keep in contact with them to improve the situation there. Passports will only be issued to Luthori nationals, that means that Luthori nationals can travel abroad and back to this country, but that doesn't mean we can't track potential terrorists and stop them from doing harm to Luthori. There is no need to believe that everyone entering this country will immediately assassinate the president. |
