| Message | PNCP was the PN which unleashed a genocide in this country and we won't forget this. Are you really defending them or suggesting that they're not fascist? |

| Message | While the PN and its successors are indubitably fascist, it doesn't mean every idea they propose is wrong. Even a broken clock is right twice a day! |

| Message | We support Articles 1, 3, 4 and 7. Article 2, however, is dangerous; the legislature may not have the competence necessary to intervene in the central bank's actions. Article 5 is too restrictive, and article 6 is anti-democratic. As this bill will not pass even with our support, we will vote yes to mark our support for more radical left-wing economic policies, however we remain cautious and might not repeat such a move in a future with different considerations. |

| Message | Trade unions do not need to be required to be democratic although we expect them to be. The purpose is to deregulate them. Regulating trade unions strips power away from the people. |

In particular, please bear in mind that a player who is inexperienced with Particracy role-play and has joined a nation as the only party there should not generally be expected to abide by RP laws implemented by previous players who have been and left. |
