| Message | The NCP's main goal is to strive for what the people of Aloria want from their leaders, doing so in a conservative, morally fashioned manner. The people have spoken and we are listening. What do other parties think of these proposals? |
| Date | 21:54:37, July 27, 2009 CET | From | Liberty Party | To | Debating the Better Aloria Act II |
| Message | The LP disagrees with the NCP's interpretation of some of the polls. For example, there are more people in favour of some form of sexual education in schools than there are in favour of none at all. For that reason, we believe the schools and parents are better suited to make that decision in each individual case. Parents can always opt for more conservative schools if they wish, especially considering we have a private educational system. Also, we believe the army should have whatever means necessary to defend Alorian soil from an invasion. We could support a resolution banning the use of landmines in an offensive capacity. The LP cannot support this bill as it is, but is willing to have further discussions on privacy and the inviolability of letters. |

| Message | The LP has brought up a valuable point. The NCP totally agrees with allowing the military every opportunity to defend Aloria. However studies have shown that land mines kill many more innocent civilians than they kill combatants. It then becomes a moral issue for many Alorians. The NCP believes in winning wars and not making them a political catastrophes, but the NCP does value innocent life. The NCP is now torn on this issue. The NCP admits fault in interpretation of opinion polls. Would the LP agree on allowing land mines with restricted use? The NCP, after further consideration, is willing to remove the sexual education proposal. Would the LP then be willing to support? |
