Voting deadline: October 4297
Description[?]:
| "Mr. Speaker I ask our colleagues from the Liberal Democrats to rethink their take on fun stuff policies and show their voters that they are able to not think like socialists. Deregulating fun products doesn't mean that I or anyone else personally think children should drink or smoke. It means that I'm humble about the fact that parents know their children and their level of maturity better than politicians and bureaucrats, and are better equipped to deal with stuff that has to do with coming of age. The fact that politicians think we know people's children better than themselves shows of a huge arrogance of our behalf." Luna Dawn LD Headmistress |
