| Message | Although we are in no power position to sanction this bill, the NLP simply cannot stand at bay without expressing their opinion on the matter. Clearly the LDP haven't thought this bill through as it comes to harm equality amongst our citizens and delivers a blow to the middle class men. We are sincerely surprised to find that a party that boasts a liberal leaning doctrine submits bills that are in such a flagrant opposition to the Liberal ideology. We suspect this to be a political decision aimed solely to be a manipulative scheme, as it does not provide sustainable, long-term solutions in defeating poverty. |
