| Message | please read my bill titled "boycott" |
| Date | 17:44:46, June 28, 2007 CET | From | Liberal Democratic Party | To | Debating the Omnibus Act |
| Message | I read it, but I disagree with it. I have no issue with omnibus legislation because it's intended to encompass a party agenda. Is it likely that the party agenda will be enacted? No. But it's similar to releasing a platform in order to gain visibility: you make your ideas known so people know where you stand. There's nothing wrong with that. |
