| Message | No, I disagree to how can you honestly say that you love more than one partner? That is not commitment that is called playing, anyway if you fill out an official form what are you going to put as your family? Mr. Smith and Ms and Ms. Smith? |

| Message | With all due respect,to the Labour Party, who are you to say it isn't commitment? You are offending polygamous people in the same way homossexuals are offended! ''How can you honestly say you love a person from the same sex? What are you going to put as your family? Mr and Mr Smith?'' When someone gets married, it is a serious thing. Just because it is polygamous, it doesn't mean it isn't serious. If the three or more consent it, why should anyone interfere and restrain them from getting married? Why is two people of the same sex getting married serious then? Also, are all ''normal'' heterossexual marriages serious? But since it's hard to change the mentality of someone who discriminates those who didn't choose how they are, we will change the proposals. |

| Message | Revolutionary Worker's Party nowhere did I say anything about homosexuality, that is an entirely different matter altogether! What happens when a polygamous person has a family? Say John Smith had two wives Sue and Joan, he had a baby with Sue and they named him Peter. What happens when Pater is growing up in that household? What will Joan be, she is still the spouse of John, she will be the outsider. This is a destruction of family values. |
