| Message | The SDP could only possible go for articles one, two, six, seven and eight, with caveats on some of those votes. |
| Date | 07:39:59, July 07, 2008 CET | From | National Labor Party | To | Debating the United Right Party: Manifesto IV |
| Message | The NVP would only agree with Article 4. Regarding Article 6, we re-iterate that education is key to the betterment of our society, and so we must not allow the private education sector to lower its standards. Regarding Article 8, sports clubs have been of a large benefit to not only the health of our population, but also society in general. A world where youths are active in sporting clubs is one where the youths are less likely to be on the streets committing crime. Thus, we strongly believe that the government should help fund some of these clubs. |
