| Message | The current means seem to work well for now, though we could accept article 2 by itself. |
| Date | 12:11:39, December 01, 2007 CET | From | New Centre and Unionists | To | Debating the Proportionality Bill 2494 |
| Message | The Bill has been changed and the issue of seating plans may be discussed separatly. However, we urge all parties to view this as a good thing; for through proportionality, each citizen has more power and a bigger influence in what happens to the nation. Mlle. Cyrille Montbatton, UPD Shadow Internal Minister, Party "Guardian of the Peers". |
