Lords of Austria,

With the voting nearly upon us I will say the same thing my father used to say at this time of the Diet session.

As a house, and as Duke of this house and someone you have sworn feality too, there will be certain edicts and amendments that I will request you vote in a certain way.

I will request this of you at some point soon and I will expect you to follow my request to the letter.

If you have any real problems with some of my request then please send me a letter explaining your issue. This house is small, by voting as a block we have our only chance at really influcencing anything.

Please send me your own requests via letter if you wish certain edicts or amendments to be voted on. I will then speak with the Streward, Dukes and Kaiser accordingly to organise your request.
