| Message | The BFoDT Party submits this legislation to the debating floor. We would like to see it gain cross-party support, and as such suggest that it be kept at debate until after the election in 2285, when it can be moved to vote. We would welcome all views, and consider this not a party issue, but a national one. (OOC I have added the motto change to ensure that it needs 2/3 vote to pass as a Constitutional amendment) |

| Message | "This is an exellent proposal. We fully support the idea of a First Minister of Meria and changing the national name, if the situation arises. This has the full backing of the Meria Separatist Alliance." -- Michael Makaveilli ooc - this is a great idea, i had been wondering how i could work a merian split should i gain enough support and this looks like a perfect solution. |

| Message | The BFoDT Party is a little confused by the silence of the majority of the other parties. Should we assume that this vote would be supported? If not, please join the debate now, so that we can look to resolve the separatist agenda that threatens to tear our nation asunder. |
