| Message | Where does this 'right' come from? Do you have a 'right' to drive around in a luxury car? Do you have a 'right' to eat caviar every day? Also, where is your evidence that sports facilities are mostly used by the 'well off'? |

| Message | In our view people have some basic rights like having the choice to use sportfacilities which the government should (partly) provide. We believe that this proposal will encourage more commitment tot the community they live in and strengthen the social structure. The quality of life will improve. Furthermore people will be in better shape, which means less sick leave and higher production levels. So there are only winners. There is unfortunatly no official information/statistics available yet. So, the information is originating from our own research and we consider it more or less as a fact. |

| Message | I don't have any problem with the local government deciding such matters. Better than having all the power flow out of the federal government like some would suggest. |

| Message | Well, we cannot accept that the right to subsidised access to your choice of sports facility is a basic right. We think it is actually a luxury, and as such should be funded by the user not from the populace at large. |

| Random fact: The people in your nation don't like inactive parties. When you often abstain from voting for a bill, they will dislike your party and your visibility to the electorate will decrease significantly. Low visibility will means you are likely to lose seats. So keep in mind: voting Yes or No is always better than Abstaining. |
