| Message | We would like to state we would support this bill even more if Article 1 were removed, it seems needless and regressive, as opposed to the progressive steps of all the other articles. |
| Date | 09:24:21, November 29, 2007 CET | From | Liberty Party | To | Debating the Health service |
| Message | 'None of these proposals appeal to the Liberty Party." ~LP Spokesman |

| Message | "Well, it seems that telling people what to do and how to do it is all the go at the moment, naturally, the Liberty Party opposes." ~LP Spokesman |
| Date | 17:40:24, November 30, 2007 CET | From | Irish Party | To | Debating the Health service |
| Message | No to article 1. (I know I voted yes last time, but I mustn't have read article 1 properly). |
| Date | 17:41:52, November 30, 2007 CET | From | Konservativa Respublikano Parti | To | Debating the Health service |
| Message | 1 is a bit silly. If anyone can drink alcohol, then hospitals would need to stock up on stomach pumps, because young people can't manage alcohol! |
