| Message | We agree with Article 2 because police expenditures can be cut by smaller management, but WRT Article 1 we already stated that there should be a Federal Police Force tasked with prosecution of cross-cantonal criminals and major offenses. |
| Date | 23:27:30, August 15, 2008 CET | From | Radical Libertarian Party | To | Debating the National Law Enforcement Act |
| Message | Cross canton crime is handed adequately through extradition and cross jurisdictional cooperation. |

| Message | ...words which are merely an alias for bureaucracy and inefficiency: we have autonomous cantons here, not independent nations. Make things as simple as necessary, not a freckle more. |
| Date | 20:36:02, August 16, 2008 CET | From | Radical Libertarian Party | To | Debating the National Law Enforcement Act |
| Message | The PLP argues against bureaucracy and for federalism, yet supports an unnecessary and bloated national police force? |

| Message | Part I is moved to a vote. |
| Date | 23:13:29, August 16, 2008 CET | From | Progressive Liberal Party | To | Debating the National Law Enforcement Act |
| Message | We meant that "extraditions" and "cross-jurisdictional cooperation" are aliases for "bureaucracy" and bloating. A National Police Force prevents the nonsense of law enforcement degenerating from a distributed, efficient task towards messy taifa kingdoms. However, given that the part we were against has been splitted off, we support this proposal. |
