| Message | While the Karavs would personally like this bill to be passed, they recognise that certain sects of society would get the impression of their rights being undermined. As a result, we must vote against this bill. We are completely in favour of secularity, and we have defended secularity from theocratic legislation many times, but this is a little too far. -- Sergei Kuznetsov, BLSP Spokesman |
