| Message | This is BIG Government at its WORST!!! How can we tell individual members of the Legislature to ONLY submit a quota of bills??? Rather, in a free society, it should be UNLIMITED!!! |

| Message | We fail to see the 'logic' (if there is any) behind the CWFP objections. If a arty can't get what it NEEDS said, into 6 proposals per year, then perhaps that party is just wasting Convocation time? |

| Message | More well thought out proposals, rather than a mess of populist quick fixes. We like this agenda quite a lot. |

| Message | It seems logical to us that a small number of GOOD proposals, is better than any number of rushed bad ones. |

| Message | While it saddens us to see the numbers of DWP delegates decimated, we see this is an unfortunate and necessary step. |

| Message | As a matter of possible interest, the AM SuDP intends to try to re-instate the historical 666 seats. It's unique, and has a long history here - it would be a shame not to try to preserve that. But this bill was just too good to oppose. |
