Message | It is important that the Diet grants autonomy to the individuals to make the important decisions in their life. The Federalist Party does not condone nor condemn any of the actions the articles of this bill address but merely seeks to ensure that the individual is the one who makes the decision on what to do in moral situations like those described in the articles. The bill also seeks to ensure that it is the Local Governments, not the Diet, who lead the way in the legislation on these matters, they are closer to the people and their views more accurately represent the diversity of opinions across our great Empire. I hope the Diet supports the Federalist Party's most ambitious proposal yet. |
