| Message | Mr Chairman, Article 8 - Dissolve the police forces and allow complete anarchy to reign. I'm guessing that is what the DNV would have added to this bill which shows increasing extremism on the part of the opposition. Bishop Peder Wallstrom MF DNV Backbencher |

| Message | Mr Chairman I want to congratulate Peder Wallström to find the true path finally and joined DNV and i guess he wants to add to this bill but we don't endorse complete abolution of police forces but we are open minded about our members opinions, so you will be well respected. Though I wonder, how could you excommunicate yourself from your cult ehhmmm... church. Kalle Jönnson MF Leader of Progressive Caucus |

| Message | Mr. Chairman, I do not believe that peace will result from destroying our country's capability to defend itself, just as abolishing the right to self-defence would not reduce crime. Jacob Bergstrom, Chancellor |
