| Message | The REP cannot support art. 1, because it is clearly a form of positive discrimination and limits the rights of the citizens. I do not know why the state should be involved in choosing the type of cars bought by the citizens on their money. We do not completely agree with the second article either, but we could support in a different form. Nevertheless we oppose this bill. Eleanor Bozarburg, Vice-President, REP |

| Message | We cannot support this legislation. Common sense and basic fairness dictates that those who use public transport should pay for it, and those who do not should not. Any deviation from this is wealth redistribution - a process to which we are vehemently opposed. We are fairly indifferent to Article 2, but given our strong opposition to Article 1, we cannot support this legislation. |

| Message | OK, if REP and RHP are so strongly opposed to article 1, PSLM removed it. |

| Message | Well, we opposed the article which remained. |
