| Message | We disagree. |
| Date | 22:06:53, October 15, 2007 CET | From | We Say So! Party | To | Debating the Citizens' Right to Assembly |
| Message | The people have the right to assemble, and the We Say So! Party supports the rights of those people who wish to assemble in groups millions large, should they wish it, so long as it is peaceful and not a risk to public safety. However, if there is a potential risk to safety the police must be empowered to act in defence of the security of the citizenry and the groups themselves. |
| Date | 23:35:10, October 15, 2007 CET | From | Hobrazian Federalist Party | To | Debating the Citizens' Right to Assembly |
| Message | The April '57 Movement holds the view that the people will soon have to confront the Second Imperial Republic and its evil by force. This bill shall help with the downfall of such an evil state, and thus we completely and utterly support it. |
| Date | 12:45:39, October 16, 2007 CET | From | The Family First Party | To | Debating the Citizens' Right to Assembly |
| Message | Family First prefers the status quo. We must ensure that dangerous groups of individuals may be legally dispersed if they pose a threat to the innocent public, and we see absolutely no reason why the HEM would have any qualm with this. Any further restriction on the capacity of police officers to ensure justice and public safety would be ludicrous and quite frankly foolish. |
