| Date | 19:39:44, September 19, 2007 CET | From |  帝国公明党 (Teikoku Kōmeitō) | To | Debating the Further anti-federalism |
| Message | The DSP only agrees with on of these proposals. Article 1 We believe the citizens should directly elect there mayors, so moving it away from the local level goes against that. Article 2 We're not even sure what a sports club is, but we feel it's up to the local governments if they want to fund them or not. Article 3 While we do believe in permits, we feel this is to hot an issue to do anything but leave it to local governments. Article 4 We agree with fully. Article 5 We think that for the time being this is something that should be left up to the local governments. |
| Date | 06:42:46, September 20, 2007 CET | From | Plato's Republican Party | To | Debating the Further anti-federalism |
| Message | Plato's Republicans feel that having various manners of mayoral appointment depending on region is counter to a strong and united nation, and while we believe there are better manners of appointment than by the Head of State, we feel that it is a step in the right direction. As for the other four proposals, we agree for the most part. We are uncertain as to the sports clubs, but they are something of a non-factor. We support this bill. |
