| Message | We oppose all 4 articles as the core principles of our party would be surrendered if we voted on this bill. We can possibly be convinced by a good enough argument for article 1 and 2 however 3 and 4 are no go's from our party. Only a total of 5% of our party supports proposals 3 and 4. |
