| Message | No. This is simply done because we agree with most of the clauses, but we refuse to ever vote to have the capital moved. |

| Message | Ever? That's a little definitive, no? What about if Hukatai prefecture somehow achieved 'independence'? |

| Message | All the more reason not to move the capital. We need to show the national commitment to keeping the nation together. By removing the status of capital city, we're showing that when we come under pressure, we cave. We need to show our patriotism stands tall when insurgent forces seek to disrupt the democratic process. We also need to assure the people that the government stands behind national unity. |

| Message | Axis Mundi Revolution thinks that the PRP is proposing a "Don't change horses, midstream" approach to government. While we CAN respect that - you DO change horse midstream, IF your horse is drowning. Axis Mundi Revolution originally campaigned to have the Capital moved to Meria, to Anakagrad... the city of our birth, and our home province. We have been seeking to move the Capital out of Hukatai for generations, so moving now would HARDLY be 'caving' to pressure. It would, though, be expedience. It would be pragmatism. And, Sorbanika is the most populous prefecture, so there is logical reason why we should relocate the Convocation there. |
