Message | I think I would approve: Prisoners of war are treated according to the national laws of the captor power. But not without legal sancation. |

Message | Our laws allow for the torture to occur. Torturing POWs sounds like something that the Fascists would support. |

Random fact: In cases where a party has no seat, the default presumption should be that the party is able to contribute to debates in the legislature due to one of its members winning a seat at a by-election. However, players may collectively improvise arrangements of their own to provide a satisfying explanation for how parties with no seats in the legislature can speak and vote there. |
