| Message | Mr. Speaker, While we are in favour of article 2, article 1 and 3 we cannot agree with. Lodamun has long had a secular government, and to return to a state religion in this day and age is unheard of and completely unnecessary. Furthermore we should not unnecessarily register personal beliefs. The government does not gain anything by knowing its citizens religion, and it can only be used against them. Even if it is not done so know, this law would make this possible in the future. The PSP will not stand for this. I will not stand for this. And the president will not stand for this. If this law is to continue I will expect him to make a statement against this policy. James McAvoy Chief Whip PSP |

| Message | OOC: I did not notice there were new elections, so my answer is a bit warped. Nonetheless, the PSP will not support this law |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, might I note that the Government has everything to gain with registering its citizens religion. A lot of these figures are used for statistics, but it is also useful to help the politicians on religious issues in certain areas. Some decisions might be influenced by these figures, for people's sake. Ahmad Roose Minister of Education and Culture |
