| Message | "The common determinator of this bill is that is it devolving powers to local governments. That's why it's called The Programme for Local Development. The decision on how anyone votes depends on whether they support devolution, or they don't." Cornelius Tang. TDU parliamentary spokesperson on Internal Affairs |

| Message | Can you let me know why we should download these decisions to local governments as opposed to national government? What is the reasoning behind it. For example if a Gay couple were to get married in one city, are they not married anymore if they move to another City which is against Gay Marriage? And why should it be ok, or not ok for prostitution in one part of the Nation, but different in another? This seems very confusing to our party. |
