| Message | Mr. Speaker, No, no, no, no, no. I yield the floor. |
| Date | 02:25:08, April 28, 2012 CET | From | United Democrats of Luthori | To | Debating the Civil Liberties Bill 3295 |
| Message | There is a lot of 'experimental' proposals here that we would like to debate on in the future, but we cannot accept this in its current form. |
| Date | 05:02:38, April 28, 2012 CET | From | National Communist Party | To | Debating the Civil Liberties Bill 3295 |
| Message | Mr Speaker, The UDL and the LCTP both need to wake up and smell the coffee! This is a better proposal than any i have seen so far! All parties should vote for this and move into the modern era! The UDL has joined an international organisation for socialistic parties! WHAT A JOKE! Socialists, Communists, and Marxist should support this hugely progressive policy! There are no experimental policies in this proposal at all! This is an equality promoting bill that we will support fully! Kirk Davids, Leader of the NMP |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, We would've preferred to have debated on certain issues separately. Perhaps in the future issues can be addressed in a less 'gung-ho' manner. |
| Date | 06:04:29, April 28, 2012 CET | From | United Democrats of Luthori | To | Debating the Civil Liberties Bill 3295 |
| Message | Mr Speaker, I also resent the implication that my party shouldn't be a member of a socialist organization. We also believe that the devolutive effect that Marxism would have on the populous would completely overshadow any positive affect that the party might have on the nation. |

| Random fact: Cabinet ministers who disagree seriously with the head of government would usually be expected to resign. Parties within the cabinet may attempt to manoeuvre to replace the head of government though, for example by proposing a new cabinet bill or voting for an early election. |
