| Date | 17:12:36, February 22, 2006 CET | From | Shuggoth Progressive Party | To | Debating the Devolution of Moral Authority to the Bishops |
| Message | The SPP is in favor of devolving economic issues to the regions, as it gives a more hands-on approach that takes into account important regional differences that may have an impact on business. We are not prepared to allow civil rights to be taken away from the citizens, by allowing local governments the choice of cherry-picking who does and who does not get civil rights protections. |
