| Message | Article 1; No. The current law works just fine, as it both makes sure that the forests are protected as well as leave the responsibility up to those who actually know about their region. Article 2; We'd support. Article 3; We have'nt really decided on a stance to take on the issue. Article 4; There is no reason for this other than idiotic fear mongering over differentness. Article 5; Never will we allow animals to be abused in such a way!!! |

| Message | If this was just de-localization, we'd be on the fence, as we think this is a good conecssion to the localizors, as it is, the GM caluse makes it unaccaptable along with the others. |
| Date | 03:09:35, February 01, 2008 CET | From | Conservative Party | To | Debating the PPS - Enviromental Protection Bill |
| Message | We support all except for Article 4 because it is harmful for the economy. However strange it is, the CP will support this bill because of all other articles. |

| Message | We probably would have voted in favor of this bill, but articles 1 and 3 (centralizing affairs) kill it for us. |
