| Message | Mr. Speaker, I rise in favour of these small, but needed, ammendments. |
| Date | 00:34:13, August 29, 2005 CET | From | Freedom Party | To | Debating the Constitutional Reform Bill |
| Message | The Freedom Party will only support Article three. The proposed flag makes us look like a colony, and the extra title for the prime minister is unnecessary. |
| Date | 00:52:58, August 29, 2005 CET | From | Socialist Liberal Party | To | Debating the Constitutional Reform Bill |
| Message | Mr. Speaker, we are willing to change the flag if the freedom party sees it fit. We will however stand by the Prime Minister's title as it is imperative that we have a first lord of the treasurey |
| Date | 12:06:50, August 29, 2005 CET | From | Alorian Socialist Party | To | Debating the Constitutional Reform Bill |
| Message | We support 3 alone. Can our comrades of the SLP explain why it is imperative to have a first lord? New flag is a good idea as but this one does indeed make us look like a colony of some other state, and where is the red flag might i ask! |
| Date | 12:35:35, August 29, 2005 CET | From | Socialist Liberal Party | To | Debating the Constitutional Reform Bill |
| Message | Mr. Speaker, As the current title stands, the Treasury must be entrusted to a commission, rather than to a single individual. These would be Lords Commissioners of the Treasury, and given a number based on seniority. Eventually, the First Lord of the Treasury came to be seen as the natural head of any ministry, and should therefore be used in conjunction with the Prime Minister's title. I have also changed the proposed flag. Is it of the Freedom Party's and the ASP's liking? |
| Date | 12:42:13, August 29, 2005 CET | From | Freedom Party | To | Debating the Constitutional Reform Bill |
| Message | The new proposed flag is much more acceptable. We will vote for this if the ASP votes for this. |
| Date | 14:40:11, August 29, 2005 CET | From | Socialist Liberal Party | To | Debating the Constitutional Reform Bill |
| Message | Will the ASP support this? |
| Date | 11:28:04, August 30, 2005 CET | From | Alorian Socialist Party | To | Debating the Constitutional Reform Bill |
| Message | Flag was found to be most acceptable (might we enquire as to the species of the bird though, just out of interest) We support the bill. |
| Date | 12:38:27, August 30, 2005 CET | From | Socialist Liberal Party | To | Debating the Constitutional Reform Bill |
