| Message | I support all of them but article 1 and 10. Life is sacred, and nobody should have the right to decide who lives and who dies once life has begun. Also, private companies can fund sports teams better than the government can. Plus sports teams and facilities are great the way they are, and really aren't a necessity that the government should worry about. If it isn't broke, don't fix it. And it'd be an unnecessary drain on on our budget to have the taxpayers have the government have to pay for it. |
| Date | 02:49:04, December 12, 2005 CET | From | Conservative Action Party | To | Debating the A Manifesto for People's Democracy. |
| Message | Get rid of articles 1 and 10, and you have my vote. |
| Date | 21:30:54, December 12, 2005 CET | From | Friedrich Hayek Party | To | Debating the A Manifesto for People's Democracy. |
| Message | We only support 1, 5, 6 and 8. Please move these to another bill |
| Date | 02:35:22, December 13, 2005 CET | From | Conservative Action Party | To | Debating the A Manifesto for People's Democracy. |
| Message | I will not vote for this bill as long as articles 1 and 10 are on it. And I would never vote for any bill that has article 1 on it, as it goes against the sanctity of life. However, if you at least change article 1 to 'only in medical emergencies', and cut out article 10, then I will vote for this bill. |

| Date | 11:23:52, December 14, 2005 CET | From | Conservative Action Party | To | Debating the A Manifesto for People's Democracy. |
