Message | We cannot support this sort of act, it is a incentive for people to take a break from work. People should work , or porvide for themselves. We shall not support a nanny state. |

Message | Ok, I have an ammendment up to vote for the current status quo. It fixes the problems of work incentive. If you don't work, off to Labour Forces with you. |
Date | 22:25:13, November 26, 2005 CET | From | Populist Liberal Party | To | Debating the Citizen benefit act |
Message | We'd vote for lowering the guarantee to a subsistence level, but not to a time limit. We just want to make sure that no one falls through the cracks entirely. |
