| Message | No. Especially on Article 3, which we believe is an irrational proposal. Why should we be loose on restrictions for international media compared to domestic media? Why should they be given special treatment? Is it not unfair and unjust to our own media companies? |
| Date | 21:44:53, April 21, 2009 CET | From | Centre Democrats | To | Debating the CD Program: Media Regulation |
| Message | Well.. if you vote for article 1 and 2... there are no domestic regulations either! |
| Date | 23:07:41, April 21, 2009 CET | From | Democratic Centrist Party | To | Debating the CD Program: Media Regulation |
| Message | We already have full freedom from regulation, as per the 'The government's policy regarding regulation of media content' law. |

| Random fact: It usually takes up to an hour for election results to generate. During this time, the "Next Election" date is put forward a month, which is confusing. Do not worry! In a short time, the election result will generate and the "Next Election" date will then correct itself. |
