| Message | Mr Speaker, this bill is not only scandalously authoritarian, it is also an offense against common sense in a time when we need all security resources to fight actual, violent crime, and not on harassing kissing couples on the beaches of Santa Sharika. Yves Lonegan MP Member for Elbian RFR Justice Spokesman |

| Message | Mr Speaker, What bout those couples you will find doing more than just kissing. Digusting nudists who the current law fails to address. To eyes like me, being forced to witness is indeed a violent crime of sorts. As for the authoritarianism, where is it? Fr. Carlos Mendoza MP BCB Backbencher Member for Valdor |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, I have some sympathies towards the objective of this legislation, how this bill just simply goes way too far. There is upholding public decency, and then there is moral totalitarianism. This is the latter and we cannot support. Sun Rikuto KDF Chairman |

| Random fact: Party candidates for head of state elections are not visible to the public. This means that you cannot see who will run and who will not, which adds another strategic element to the elections. |
