| Message | We do not support the death penalty, therefore we do no support capital crimes. We can support this if article 5 is removed. |

| Message | Twice I've seen that given as a reason, I'm checking the current laws... (Two minutes later) I knew it, we don't have a death penalty! "Government policy with respect to the death penalty. The death penalty is illegal and is never to be applied." |

| Message | So in this case "capital crime" means life imprisonment? |

| Message | Frankly we are tired of the FMDP's attempt at trying to define what is being a traitor. And in this time the FMDP will try to use this to their advantage and we stand strongly against the FMDP in this bill. |
