| Message | We have pushed for article one before (and failed), but the second article is too harsh. We will have to think about this one before deciding how to vote. |
| Date | 00:02:19, November 13, 2007 CET | From | Supreme Party of the Republic | To | Debating the Free people |
| Message | So freedom to the FPMH is to forbid others to wear religious clothing or religious symbols in public buildings? We want to make sure that the new Minister of Education provides enough dictionaries to the members of the Riksdag. |
