What kind of party has to specifically note it's non-racist?

Hahahah
Everyone *and I mean everyone* accuses them of racism for being anti-immigration and anti-birkha.

Then they probably have a terrible PR team.

The irony, a country proud of a history that is built on the defeat of the royals can't get enough of the royals. Ha.

They're celebrities, basically.

No one is forcing you to click them :3. It's a good song that represents my mood towards the actions of someone in the Senate :3.

Political correctness.

The most over-used word in NZ politics.

Btw who's up for creating a Church of Aurentina with me perhaps?

by **Soviet Canuckistan** » Fri Dec 20, 2013 5:59 pm

Would I be allowed to motion for a ban of video links that have nothing to do with the Senate since they're annoying and just clutter up the lobby.

And in a lot of other places too.

"You're not allowed to preach genocide in our city square."
"STUPID POLITICAL CORRECTNESS!"

UKIP has been caught in the past with Former National Front/BNP members. Senior members of the organisation have also been caught making racist and sexist comments.

Episcopalian in nature, as it would be like the national denomination (NOT NATIONAL RELIGION BEFORE YOU PULL ME UP ON SECULARISM) of Christianity perhaps? I am reformed in theological beliefs but I'd settle on making it somewhat Lutheran, or independent?

Well... I'm not up to date on modern theology, so I probably wouldn't be much help. I would however go to church on Sunday.

I have a question (this relates to a possible bill I will be drafting if it turns out to be necessary): What kinds of medicines, cares and treatments are covered under the universal healthcare system? Does it only cover medicine that has actually been scientifically been proven to work?

I'd help you write a bill on that.

Next time you post an offensive or unhelpful video link in an admin-controlled thread, you're getting a warning for spamming and disruption of debate.

We don't really have a provision for that, so no. But I can do what I did above.

By the way, folks, the admins have moved much closer to a decision on the Dragomere petition.

Thanks. I'll probably have my first (very rough) draft in the coffee shop sometime this evening (USA west coast time).

I'd also support a ban on the advertising of ~~sugar water~~ homeopathy as actually being medicine. Because it's not.

This thread isn't for debate, hence the Chambers.
