| Message | The Grand Liberal Party have come to a conclusion that the PCP is only using its large seat gain to pass bills that they previously couldn't because they did not have enough seats to win alone. The PCP is using underhanded tactics in our opinion, because they know that the majority of parties do not accept these ideas, and likely never will. The GLP will not support this bill. David Collins Leader & Founder of the Grand Liberal Party. |

| Message | The people should not be told when and when not to drink on their own account. We cannot infringe on their rights to decide for themselves. The Orange Party will support this bill. -William Durden, Orange Party |

| Message | Surely you must care for the protection of minors in Rutania. If we allow minors to drink when they want, we are putting the future of this country at great risk. This bill can not go forward if we want to see a healthy and great future for this nation. As we said the previous time this bill was proposed, the risks of drinking are high for anyone, but for minors the risk are much higher, and the Grand Liberal Party will never vote yes to a bill that supports alcohol being consumed by minors. David Collins Leader & Founder of the Grand Liberal Party. |
