Message | The state has no say in who is allowed Euthanasia, its up to the individual. Anyway, the LLP supports 1 but do not support 2 |
Date | 22:09:14, July 03, 2008 CET | From | The Liberal Party | To | Debating the The Right to Life Act |

Message | Damn, I hate when these proposals come in the same bill. Because I support article #1. But I believe that euthanasia should be up to the individual, and nobody else. So, I guess I have to abstain from voting. |

Random fact: In cases where a party has no seat, the default presumption should be that the party is able to contribute to debates in the legislature due to one of its members winning a seat at a by-election. However, players may collectively improvise arrangements of their own to provide a satisfying explanation for how parties with no seats in the legislature can speak and vote there. |
