| Message | I think all parties can save their time and give up on constitutional reform until at least the next election. The SDLP can't see a two-thirds majority of Senate passing any constitutional amendment in this electoral cycle. Walton Laboissonnier SDLP Senate Leader |

| Message | "We concur that Consitutional debate has ended for this session. We do however believe that this term has been a success. The Solentian public are more informed than ever before of the Senate's desire for restructuring of the Governance of the Realm and we are pleased that productive debate has led to alll party stances to be viewed, scrutinised and discussed. We have highlighted differences but have also outlined areas of agreement and we look forward to finishing the debate on this issues in the next sitting. With arguments largely out of the way, we are optimistic that debate can now turn to compromise." Asbjørn Holm, CMP Senatorial Lead. |

| Random quote: "The moral justification of capitalism does not lie in the altruist claim that it represents the best way to achieve 'the common good.' It is true that capitalism does, if that catch-phrase has any meaning, but this is merely a secondary consequence. The moral justification for capitalism lies in the fact that it is the only system consonant with man's rational nature, that it protects man's survival qua man, and that its ruling principle is justice." - Ayn Rand |
