| Message | The NLP Membership is split on this issue - SRG and hard-liners are in favor, while the traditional Nationalist-Libertarian, Nationalist-Capitalist, and Conservative Hosian blocs are opposed. As the NLP cannot find consensus on this issue, we will honor the pledge that we made to the GFP regarding respect and consideration of their views, and will vote in solidarity with them. If the GFP does not make a statement of voting intent, however, the SRG/Hard-Liners did win the vote by a tiny margin (by 86 ballots out of nearly 3 million), so we would likely vote in favor.
