| Message | Although this would create more of a free market, it could prove risky to our economic stability. For example if the government is not allowed to intervene (only when necessary not all the time) our national currency could take a big blow which would only hurt said corporations in the future. Article 2 allows for our citizens to get fair working hours without the government putting a set number. As for article 3 it is unthinkable to let vital goods and services (which our citizens rely on) to just fail. The GPM tries to compromise on every bill such as the abortion one recently passed but as for this one, I see no comprises that can be made that won't put out nation at risk in the future. |

| Message | We must allow our people to decide what is fair, and the first step to doing that is creating a truly free market. |

| 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. |
