| Message | How so? Wouldn't it be better if it were like this anyway? Then marketing would be able to focus on other ways of product sale other that trying to better each other by putting the most amount of ingredients on its box like some childish game. |

| Message | We should not intefere with Business too much. Whilst we agree that food labelling is a good idea, we shall not support such a restrictive scope. The current scope is perfectly adequate |

| Message | As We have said before, people have the rght to know what they are putting into their bodies. For example, many people did not know the dangers of cigaretts because the compaines didn't put a label on there saying it could kill you. Now these people are dying of cancer. Oh yes, capitalism worked beutifully there, it only took till people died to get labels on there. |

| Random fact: It usually takes up to an hour for election results to generate. During this time, the "Next Election" date is put forward a month, which is confusing. Do not worry! In a short time, the election result will generate and the "Next Election" date will then correct itself. |
