Message | There is no logic to this. We oppose. On another note: The Civic Conservative Party told us that they made this bill in error, and intend to have it removed. |
Date | 18:50:39, July 16, 2008 CET | From | Spenocratic Party | To | Debating the Free Speech Act |
Message | We did not make this bill in error, but I do find the Sturm und Drang Partei's sence of humor rather funny. |
Date | 18:52:27, July 16, 2008 CET | From | Commonwealth Workers Army | To | Debating the Free Speech Act |
Message | With respect, the Civic Conservative Party DID tell us that they made this bill in error. We find this flipflopping most confusing. |
Date | 18:55:10, July 16, 2008 CET | From | Commonwealth Workers Army | To | Debating the Free Speech Act |
Message | We abstain from voting on this issue until the Civic Conservatives make up their minds whether they are going to honour their word, or not. |
Date | 19:46:33, July 16, 2008 CET | From | Red Tory Party | To | Debating the Free Speech Act |
Message | Publication of false information must be reprimanded. We oppose. |
Date | 00:04:48, July 17, 2008 CET | From | Commonwealth Workers Army | To | Debating the Free Speech Act |
Message | No response from the Civic Conservative Party? How can voters be expected to back the CCP, when they say one thing, and then do the opposite? |
Date | 02:50:28, July 17, 2008 CET | From | Commonwealth Workers Army | To | Debating the Free Speech Act |
Message | Still no response from the CCP? We've noticed that they have been 'present', but they've failed to expand upon the contradiction between what they say they'll do, and what they then go on to do. The voters will not look kindly upon this contradiction. |
