| Message | We believe that quota's should be enforced for government hiring We believe that no curfews should be enforced. this is a gross attack on liberty by the state. If this is not acceptable to others we would compromise and allow the national governement to impose curfews durings a state of emergency, but not local Police presence - the police should not activly patrol public property - we would remove this power from local governemtn |

| Message | Polygamy - it is madness that these relationships may be recognised by one local district and then 2 miles down the road, another does not recognise them. We believe that we should change to 'the governement does not recognise polygamous relationships |

| Message | The PIP's stance on this is known. We support strong devolved powers for local governments. Though we are willing to compromise on issues that require nation-wide standardisation, such as stance on Polygamous marriages. |
