Message | The LP feels compelled to vote against this bill simply because of the HYPOCRISY and NERVE of the JLSP for proposing this bill on the grounds of government having no right to dictate or regulate views and opinions, the JLSP having just proposed a ban on positive discrimination in private organizations. However, as we strongly agree with this proposition, we will vote for it. |

Message | Well, we believe that expression of opinions and beliefs is fine, but to act on them in such a way that breaches another person's rights or harms them in anyway is wrong. Refusal to sing the national anthem because you don't approve of your country harms no one. |
