| Message | We can't understand why enabling people to prove their identity is oppressive. Only those with something to hide could be worried by having these cards. |
| Date | 22:25:16, October 28, 2005 CET | From | Aldegar Liberty Party | To | Debating the Abolition of ID Cards Act |
| Message | From the Universal Decleration of Rights treaty which was passed into law by this body. "No one shall be subjected to arbitrary interference with his privacy." ID cards are completely arbitrary, they serve no valid purpose. |

| Message | Citizens already have driving licenses, student cards, and various other forms of identification, therefore we agree with the Neo-Libertarian Party on this issue. Its a waste of government money, therefore we vote yes. |
