| Message | It is a shame to see Páirtí Tuaithe na Kirlawa attempting to slip our nation back into the past. We believe to is possible to both preserve our unique rural culture, without compromising on our belief of equality, liberty and reason-based and scientific decision making. In particular, the backsliding on climate change commitments is a travesty for our country, which could cause irreversible damage, not only to our country but the world. |

This should be done in a public way, such as on the Character Transfers thread, so that if a dispute arises in the future, Moderation can be pointed towards evidence of the transfer. |
