| Message | Good members of the Convocation It is clear that this Bill does not sit well within the current political climate. Point 1. If the Law Lords and judges were found to be infallible, I am sure my colleagues in the Justice ministry would step in. The idea of an appeals process, whist noble in a more barbaric nation, is superfluous when the judges are picked carefully. Point 2. Two police forces seems to muddy the waters. Our military are up to the job, and it seems unnecessary to risk the corruption of a civil division on a matter so important as our peoples safety and security. Point 3. I refer to point 2, particularly regarding the potiential for corruption. We are always glad to hear suggestions from our co-representatives, and will welcome them in future, however there may come a time when it is not prudent to flaunt membership of what will soon be an outlawed group such as Axis Mundi.
