| Message | "Industry will ignore any 'suggestions' by the governemnt... as accordance will impose loss of profits. We suggest moderate regulation so that citizens living near factories will be protected from polution. See 'Environment Protection Act'" While we agree, this is a first step in a process of tightening environmental restrictions. It is obvious that Baltusia is anti-environmentalist and therefore stronger regulations would not only be unacceptable amongst our people but other parties as well. Note that our party is well in favour of environmental restrictions but has to compromise for the time being. |

| Message | Article 3 is perhaps not in the best interests of the nation overall. Article 4 is in the right step. Overall, although there are some issues that the FFP has, it has our support. |
