| Message | You know where we stand on local governments by now. |
| Date | 22:49:03, December 21, 2005 CET | From | Labor Party | To | Debating the Local government |
| Message | Not only does this bill undermine the national government to an extent that would bring about serious consequences for our people, it disenfranchises the Proletariat and opens doors for the rise of the burgoisie. The Labor Party vehemently opposes this law, and hopes that fellow parties will move swiftly to strike it down. |
