| Message | Although I can't help but think you're just trying to move yourself to the center and away from extreme privatization policies...and it seems odd, considering your party name (y'know, One Nation). |

| Message | We are glad the Communists support this bill, particularly our aim to enhance the reltionship between the church and state. Regarding privitisation, we are indeed a party that believes in small government but if you regard previous bills put forward by the ONCP, you'll see that we have championed devolution in the past. The 'One Nationism' aspect of our party does not refer to the amount of centralised power but to how we treat all classes of society. For instance, in all our budgets, we have not onl reduced taxatiion for the rich but have actually taken hundreds of thousands of the poorest people in Pontesi out of the income taxation system. In addition, we have reduced the burden on middle and upper classes. |
