| Message | We are obviously opposed to this attempt to re-introduce apartheid to our nation. |
| Date | 00:01:21, October 19, 2007 CET | From | Hulstrian Nationalist Party | To | Debating the Balance of Ethnic Rights |
| Message | If you can provide some justification for these changes, then it is possible that we will support. However, we will not help you introduce segregation just for the sake of it. |
| Date | 00:16:24, October 19, 2007 CET | From | Hulstrian Conservative Monarchist Party | To | Debating the Balance of Ethnic Rights |
| Message | That is reasonable enough. Article 3 and 4 are about maintaining both Gao-Showan and Hulstrian ethnic heritage. As a dual monarchy, it is only just to try and ensure neither culture is lost, in our party's opinion. Article 5 simply gives local governments, whether Hulstrian or Gao-Showan, the option to segregate their schools if they desire. It is not enforced segregation. After consideration, the CMP leadership believes article 1 and 2 may be a bit much. If those articles were removed would the HNP find the bill acceptable? |
