| Message | I have explained why these measures were put in place. Why you are lumping them all together and decided for no debate whatsoever is absurd. We emplor all politicians to vote no, if only so civilised debate can take place. |

| Message | Well you can explain again why the Entente's regulations should remain in place. Anyway, we've been over this before. We are merely trying to reform against your police statesque "laws". *Article 1: Death penalty Can you promise the justice system will never make a mistake? Still, could you live with the blood of anyone on your collective hands? *Article 2: Government provision of legal aid to the accused Why should the rich get a free ride? *Article 3: The weapons used by police forces Why do the cops need military grade equipment? *Article 4: The use of torture for obtaining information Torture is an ineffective method of obtaining information and is needlessly cruel. |

| Message | "So civilised debate can take place" That'd explain why you turned Baltusia into a prison camp without compromise... |
