| Message | Well, we USED to have "All refugees are welcome; however, no integration aid is given to them," which to the LSP seemed like the best way to promote diversity as long as the refugees were able to get themselves going in our country (ie had job skills to find employment and weren't just destitute beggars). Change Article 2 around and we'd be glad to support your bill. |

| 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. |
