| Message | These propsals seem reasonable. I beleive that our citizens should have the right to a non-smoking area, particularly at their place of work. Additionally, there are strong arguments for licensing the sale of alcohol, both fiscal and social. We would support this Bill in it's current form, but would happily see it strengthened. FML |

| Message | Citizens have every right to a non-smoking area. Smokine would be allowed only at the discretion of the property owner; so all they need to do is to convince the owner to not allow it in part or all of his property. |

| Message | In a perfect world, this would indeed be the case. Unfortunately, I fear for non-smokers in low-paid jobs, who are gping to be forced into conflict with a pro-smoking employer, or in a workplace where a majority are happy with smoking, and I feel that non smokers deserve an element of protection. We will support, but as we said, we would look, in future, to perhaps go a step further... FML |

| Message | The AAP finds this curiously conservative and restrictive. We must oppose. If Article 2 was separate, we could support that. |

| Random fact: It is not allowed to call more than 5 elections in 5 game years in a nation. The default sanction for a player persisting in the early election tactic will be a seat reset. |
| Random quote: "In Germany they first came for the Communists and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Communist. Then they came for the Jews, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Jew. Then they came for the trade unionists and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a trade unionist. Then they came for the Catholics, and I didn't speak up because I was a Protestant. Then they came for me--and by that time no one was left to speak up." - Pastor Martin Niemoller |
