| Message | Actually the Police are protectors of the peace, the military however by definition are not a peace-keeping force. We shall not be voting yes to this bill as we disagree in principle with both article one and article three. Article two however we do agree with since it is much easier to orgainise and manage a national police force than administered by the local governments. Moreover FDF since Beluzia is a kingdom comprised of provinces we do not have 'federal governenment' this does not exist. Beluzia is not a Republic (although it used to be). |
