| Message | Mr Speaker, The Luthori Ironguard stand totally opposed to this farce of a bill. It serves to undermine values we have held for years and that have differentiated us from the rest of the world. If we pass this bill it will begin our slow decline from individuality into collectivism. We reaffirm that we are against the whole bill. Mark Levane Luthori Ironguard |

| Random fact: In order for a Cabinet bill to pass, more than half of the legislature must vote for it and all of the parties included in the proposed Cabinet must support it. If your nation has a Head of State who is also the Head of Government, then the party controlling this character must also vote for the bill, since the Head of Government is also a member of the Cabinet. If any of these requirements are not met, the bill will not pass. |
