| Message | Mr Speaker, So that our fellow members in the Imperial Diet are aware, our position on Article One is (regarding Abortion) is not our desired stance, however it is unconstitutional for us to propose our true beliefs due to Luthori's membership in the Pro Life Alliance. We continue to support the withdrawal from the Pro Life Alliance and are curious for the opinion of our fellow politicians on that matter. I yield. Rt Hon. Dyson Bush LDP Secretary of the Imperial Diet |
| Date | 15:36:51, May 29, 2009 CET | From | Constitutionalist Imperial League (IA) | To | Debating the Yet Another Liberal Rights Act |
| Message | Mr Speaker, The Rt Hon. Dyson Bush is correct to assume that different parties within the League have different opinions on the se issues. In addition, no one party controls a majority, thus compromises will have to be made. I would like to remind all League mps that as League whip, I will strictly enforce the will of the League and that dissenters will be punished accordingly. Partiy whips have assured me that voting is to be strictily on part lines. I now give the floor to to the various parties of the CIL. I yield, The Rt Hon. Lord Sean Moore CIL League Whip |
| Date | 15:46:06, May 29, 2009 CET | From | Constitutionalist Imperial League (IA) | To | Debating the Yet Another Liberal Rights Act |
| Message | Mr Speaker, The Geharon Conservatives oppose articles 1 to 6 without any doubt. They support article 8 and are unsure about article 7. (7/20 governors) The Free-Marketeers supports articles 3, 4, 6, 7 and 8. They are very hesitant about the other articles, especially articles 2 and 5, which they frown upon. (9/20 governors) The Homeland Libertarians only oppose article 1, but their opposition to article 1 will prevent them from supporting the bill in its present state. (4/20) governors) At present, the vote is 20-0 in opposition to the bill in the League Board of Governors. We advise the LDP to repropose a compromise which appeals to both the LFMA and H&L, although gaining GCP favour is recommended. I yield, The Rt Hon. Ralph Lawrence, Internal Relations Committee, CIL |
| Date | 17:50:51, June 03, 2009 CET | From | Constitutionalist Imperial League (IA) | To | Debating the Yet Another Liberal Rights Act |
| Message | Mr Speaker, We respectfully ask the Liberal Democrats either to put this bill to vote, to propose an ammendment or to scrap it, as it is taking up space. I yield. |
| Date | 17:41:52, June 23, 2009 CET | From | Social Justice Collective | To | Debating the Yet Another Liberal Rights Act |
| Message | Mr Speaker Although we have no seats, we wish to make it known to the public forum that we oppose articles one and four of this proposal, as they are attacks on the weak and oppressed. The other articles we support, though some with reservations. I thank the Diet for allowing us to put this on record, and as my allotted time as a member of the public has ended I yield. |
