Message | Article 1 does not expand civil liberties, it contracts them. If I am an employer and the state denies me the ability to sack a worker in breach of contract, my rights are limited in order to give special privileges to a favoured group. We support 2 and 3 so if you ditch article 1, we'll vote for the proposal. |
Date | 09:46:53, April 01, 2006 CET | From | Fasces Kromina Conservatives | To | Debating the Liberty Act |
