| Message | Gambling should be legal. it is just running peoples lives to say whether they can or can't gamble, even if it is a bad habit. |
| Date | not recorded | From | To | Debating the Gambling Legislation |
| Message | But we as a party feel it should be a matter for central government rather than local. |
| Date | not recorded | From | National Centrist Party | To | Debating the Gambling Legislation |
| Message | Yet we as a party feel it should be a matter for the local government rather than the central. In any case, I support legalized gambling as well, so if that is a compromise needed, then it would be better than an outright ban. |
| Date | not recorded | From | National Centrist Party | To | Debating the Gambling Legislation |
| Message | As no one has responded to my question about compromising, I'll move this to vote. In any case, even for those who support legalization at the central level, this should be viewed as an intermediate step. |
| Date | not recorded | From | People's Party | To | Debating the Gambling Legislation |
| Message | There is no right to gamble... Gambling dens and casinos prey on the poor with dreams of instant wealth. They merely exist to expoit the poverty of a large mass of disadvantaged people. If you care about equality, or care about justice, help defeat this bill! |
| Date | not recorded | From | To | Debating the Gambling Legislation |
| Message | We should legalise it centrally and tax it:) I'll still go for this proposal though. |
| Date | not recorded | From | National Centrist Party | To | Debating the Gambling Legislation |
| Message | To the people's party: This isn't an all-over legalization. Communities that are against gambling will be able to outlaw it. Communities that are for gambling won't have their rights restricted. This is just an attempt to take the government hand out. |

| Message | Furthermore, it is a step towards stronger rights for the individual counties. That is something you support, isn't it? |
