| Message | Mr Speaker, we believe that by having all citizens on record, it saves police time and money, which is crucial to catching suspects in any case of criminal activity. And we hope that the opposition can agree with my party that our police force goes to great measures to ensure the security of Hobrazia, and changing their powers undermines their work, and shows distrust to the police. Not characteristics of a party fit for government. Deputy Supreme Leader of Hobrazia John Steiner |
