| Message | We could agree with the first three articles, but I'm afraid not the last three. The Civil Liberties Party will need more discussion amongst its members before it can come to an agreement. |
| Date | 20:02:51, March 05, 2007 CET | From |  Likaton Coalition of the Willing | To | Debating the Con Lib proposals |
| Message | Articles 4 and 5 are deal breakers for us. We would support the other 4. |
| Date | 20:27:41, March 05, 2007 CET | From | AM Populist Social Democrats | To | Debating the Con Lib proposals |
| Message | Artcile 1 is the only one we'd support, so we will not vote for this proposal. However, so as not to confuse the public on our stance on alcoholic beverages, we also shall not vote against the proposal unless our votes are needed to defeat it. |
| Date | 23:09:17, March 05, 2007 CET | From | Commonwealth Workers Army | To | Debating the Con Lib proposals |
| Message | We are not nearly so divided. No, no, no, no, no and no. |
