Message | We will have to oppose this attempt to stifle the freedom of expression of our honorable (and even our less than honorable) public officials. The fact that they are willing to take time out of their busy and otherwise productive lives to serve the people of Likatonia should not remove from them the right to express their deeply held relegious beliefs. |

Random fact: Cabinet ministers who disagree seriously with the head of government would usually be expected to resign. Parties within the cabinet may attempt to manoeuvre to replace the head of government though, for example by proposing a new cabinet bill or voting for an early election. |
