| Message | The CDP questions the reasons behind this bill - it only seems to impede on our duty to help those less fortunate than ourselves - therefore we vote no. |

| Message | I agree with the first, that is we cannot supply aid to all countries in need all the time, but refugees do need our help, otherwise they would not leave their own countries! Why the strict border control? It will make people less likely to visit our country for holidays etc. |
