| Message | Although we support some of these proposals we feel most go to far. We might consider supporting if article 3 was ditched, or if article 1 was. Obviously we would prefer both being scrapped. |
| Date | 02:41:21, September 11, 2007 CET | From | Union Hosienne-Démocrate (UHD) | To | Debating the Civil Liberties Bill |
| Message | Support. |

| Message | I will split them for you UPNH. |
| Date | 05:01:30, September 11, 2007 CET | From | Union Hosienne-Démocrate (UHD) | To | Debating the Civil Liberties Bill |
| Message | We support, but we must point out how hypocritical the Forpees have been. Less than a year has gone by since the UPF introduced a bill that put parental qualifications on people wishing to have children and the Forpees railed against it citing "human rights" and other such travesties. |
| Date | 05:40:50, September 11, 2007 CET | From | 2ème PPPP | To | Debating the Civil Liberties Bill |
| Message | This makes the test somewhat optional, and we did not want to leave such an important issue to local governments. Better to make a proposal that others will vote for and keep policy from being totally crazy in different regions. |
