| Message | (ooc) the problem he's referring to is the fact that your "bills" consist of nothing more than your statement "We open this up to honest discussion" with a proposal to change a law, but no facts, reasoning, or even propaganda to convince others why the bill should be even debated. |

| Message | Actually, the problem is that he basiclly wants centralized control over evrything and hates private business. |

| Message | 'potato, potato, tomato, tomato let's call the whole thing off' the gmp does not see this as a "problem", we see it as an ideology gpp: as far as we're aware: a) what is wrong with opening something up for discussion? b) we've only actually made the statement that you allude to, in isolation, maybe 2/3 times out of the 20 odd bills we've proposed over the past 7 years |

| Message | And that idealogy is a problem. It limits freedom and beefs up the government. |

| Random fact: The people in your nation don't like inactive parties.

So keep in mind: voting Yes or No is always better than Abstaining. |
