| Message | The PCP is under the impression that the limit to proposals is in place not to stifle the growth of new parties (after all, most parties currently in the Majelis developed under this regime), but in order to prevent the Majelis being flooded with legislation by a new party with no representation. Since the MPA has so ably done this already, we are not convinced that this law needs changing. |
| Date | 18:12:49, November 01, 2007 CET | From | Movement for a Patriarchal Society | To | Debating the Proposals Act |
| Message | This Bill would allocate each party 12 proposals a year, or one per month. This is not unreasonable. It will not lead the Majelis being "flooded with legislation". |

| Message | The revolution is made on a wave of legislation! |

| Message | I see no evidence that there's too little legislation! |
