| Message | Mr Speaker, We will abstain on this motion. For while we agree on many of the articles considering fiscal policy, and the freedom to drink alcohol as well, we cannot accept the legalization of any illegal drugs. Morgana Cadfeal Mistress of the Fellowship |

| Message | Article 2 is a worrying bill, we at NL believe the fundamental responsibility of the state is to protect its people's freedom with a strong millitary, we should NOT be privatising the role of the public sector, just like we should not be nationalising the roles of the private sector. NL will support this bill but repeal article 2 as soon as possible. Jaylee Lacey MP, Minister of Defence |
| Date | 02:12:15, October 31, 2013 CET | From | Hacia Casa | To | Debating the Liberalisation Bill |
| Message | Mr. Speaker, This Bill is a classic example of the extreme libertarian Dranish decadence which got us into the current political crisis in the first place. No wonder we have so much crime and terrorism when politicians want to undermine society like this! Fabricio Alvarado MP Leader of Hacia Casa |
