| Message | The UDRC is mistaking decentralization for weakness. The Democratization and Decentralization Bill only wishes to let the Egelion army be organized in a much more local level by each province, which will be beneficial in the long run for organization and camaraderie between members of said regions. Moreover, the establishment of a local volunteer army which is allowed to choose its own officers will definitely boost our military overall. I suggest you reconsider.
