| Message | we dissagre totally with having a curfew,it would damage the ecomony as clubs and bars couldnt operate as well which could lead to lesss music being made ,also our transport stystem would go into decline as they have less time to get customand also think about people who sleep in the daytime,they would find it hard to buy and sell things and would be poorer,and we would get less money in taxes..so we conclude that if this bill was allowed to pass it would hurt the taxpayer and the tax collecter |

| Message | We understand the concerns of our colleagues from the derrfe Party, but would point out that this would not be a standard curfew to be employed at all times but only during times of great crisis (i.e. war) and even then it requires the complete support of the entire government and 2/3rds majority in the Chamber before it could be implemented. We maintain that this law is required to help protect our citizens in times of crisis, but is not to be employed in normal periods. |
