| Message | Such a measure seeks unnecessary and overtly fascist. What will we do with those who do not want to change or lack the ability to? Will we throw them in jail? |
| Date | 13:52:42, July 22, 2008 CET | From | Green Party of Aldegar | To | Debating the The Friendly Fuels Act of 2609 |
| Message | We think it is a gross oversimplification to say that regulating the level of environmental-friendliness of cars as unnecessary and overtly fascist. Nevertheless, even though we will be voting for this bill, we would like to see a concrete plan as how to 1)enforce, and 2)support this bill. Will it be enforced through authoritarian means or will the bill encourage a massive radicalisation in the research and development of environmentally friendly transport, both private AND public.

| Random fact: Party candidates for head of state elections are not visible to the public. This means that you cannot see who will run and who will not, which adds another strategic element to the elections. |
