| Message | We just held a poll and this biggest result was fanatical big government 11.7% get the point now? |

| Message | it has absolutely nothing to do with the size of the government. most of the people in the country want to have a less centralised governing body that's all that it is about. you can vote against it of course, but i see no point in it. (convinced + extreme federalist = ~26%) |
| Date | 03:28:53, November 26, 2005 CET | From | BigBoss Party | To | Debating the Live and let live act |
| Message | actually the poll you are looking at is not from the people so your information is inaccurate, you are looking at what WE in the past have been doing about Government and currently it is for small goverment. |
