| Message | Mr. Speaker, We believe that gradual returns to freedom are necessary so as to not upset the balance of things. The ultimate goal of this party is to see the citizens of this nation be able to protest without consequence, however with the policy such as this in place, we believe there is a balance between the personal freedoms of those assembling, and some security for those around them. |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, By limiting the actions of the police (as this bill intends to do), we are allowing a way for the populace to have civil recourse in the instance of dispersement. I yield. |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, You speak of gradual reforms but your party has endorsed a full reform of the electoral system without acknowledging the history of this nation, so why not propose such a revolutionary proposal in this instance if what my party has said they would support is your party's goal too? I'm sure the people would appreciate having the basic right of assembling in groups... I yield. |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, To say that the current right to assemble does not exist is factually incorrect. They may, although they run the chance of being dispersed indiscriminately. We will however "put our money where our mouth is", so to speak. I yield. |
| Date | 20:40:39, November 04, 2010 CET | From | United Democratic Caucus | To | Debating the The Right to Assembly Protection Act |

| Date | 17:20:54, November 05, 2010 CET | From | Liberal Party | To | Debating the The Right to Assembly Protection Act |
| Message | The Liberal Party will give this bill our full support, we do not believe that the police should abuse their power with any reason |
