| Message | We wish the DNA-testing had not been introduced in this bill. It is an infringement on civil liberties. This mixed bag, however, is an improvement on the whole. |
| Date | 19:20:12, May 18, 2008 CET | From | Democratic Socialist Union | To | Debating the Revolutionary Communist Bill: Necessary Justice Reform |
| Message | I understand that the DNA-testing proposal is a bit controversial, and indeed, you may propose a bill to have it repealed again. We however believe it is a necessary step in keeping the nation safe. |
| Date | 19:23:25, May 18, 2008 CET | From | Liberale Partij (L) | To | Debating the Revolutionary Communist Bill: Necessary Justice Reform |
| Message | If this bill would enjoy support from the monarchists (which we doubt) then we would indeed start a campaign to repeal the legislation. On illegal aliens, conversely, we feel the revolutionary movement isn't going far enough. |
| Date | 19:27:47, May 18, 2008 CET | From | Democratic Socialist Union | To | Debating the Revolutionary Communist Bill: Necessary Justice Reform |
| Message | Maybe, but you must admit that it would be a major step in the right direction. |
| Date | 19:29:36, May 18, 2008 CET | From | Liberale Partij (L) | To | Debating the Revolutionary Communist Bill: Necessary Justice Reform |
| Message | It would be, hence our tentative support for this particular piece of revolutionary legislation - despite studied neutrality on the revolution itself so far. |
| Date | 19:57:10, May 18, 2008 CET | From | People Party | To | Debating the Revolutionary Communist Bill: Necessary Justice Reform |
| Message | We will have to with reluctance vote against this bill as we find, like the liberal party whom we welcome to the house and to Hutori politics, an infringement on civil liberties at a time when this is a major concern for most people. James Caldwell, Shadow Transport Secretary |
| Date | 04:22:29, May 19, 2008 CET | From | Hutori Conservative Council | To | Debating the Revolutionary Communist Bill: Necessary Justice Reform |
| Message | This legislation severely impedes the strength of our criminal justice system. We will never support such weakening of our police forces and prisons. |
