MessageMr Speaker.

We agree. In a modern society any act or form of slavery are not acceptable.

MessageMr. Speaker,

As the Head Consultant in SLP's Trade and Industry sector, I wish to state that people are not commodities that should be traded or owned. The SLP do not wish to perpetuate this type of economy. And, I find the current value allows for too many grey areas in a topic that should be perfectly clear.

MessageMr. Speaker,

This has nothing to do with economics. The current law keeps the slave trade illegal. Slavery is only legal as a punishment for persons who are convicted of crimes by the justice system.

MessageMr. Speaker,

There are too many potential loop holes. Assuming it's for punishment, who gets ownership? The State? The victim? Who gains from the servitude of another person?

MessageMr. Speaker,

That would be decided by each court case, and it would be the state. There are no loop holes. The slave trade is illegal. Private ownership of slaves wouldn't make sense under the current law.

We strongly stand by our first comment. Banning all forms of slavery.

MessageMr. Speaker,

Thank you for the clarification, GNRG. Do we have a judicial court that would decide outcomes like this? We came across something while reading that made us wonder if we have a legal court system set up.

ToDebating the Abolition Act
MessageMr. Speaker,

You say this is not a economic problem, and even if this were true, it is still a moral problem. We are talking about taking away a person's freedom permanently. It's not just a prison sentence, it strips a person of their status as human.

Is there certain types of punishment that are acceptable and certain types of punishments that are not? Do they become labourers? Servants? Sex slaves?

Do we have regulations in place for how to treat slaves? Can an owner hit a slave? Can they starve a slave? What stops the mistreatment? Because a slave is rarely treated at a level of human decency.

How exactly would do we go about delivering justice like this with a population of 99,606,831? Even if only 1 in 100,000 people needed access to justice, this would still mean about 3 cases daily. And, a proper deliberation on even one case involving slavery would need much more time than that would allow. They wouldn't even get a court case, because there is no court involved. They would get a passing deliberation.

That is unacceptable. There is way too much potential for abuse.

MessageMr. Speaker,

We can pass resolutions on how the law will be applied. As for concerns about how justice is delivered, it is rare that anyone comes to the physical office of the President. "The Office of the President" is a nationwide institution. The President has representatives that rule on court cases on his behalf, and he is allowed to intervene, hire extra representatives, or fire representatives.

Random fact: Cabinet ministers who disagree seriously with the head of government would usually be expected to resign. Parties within the cabinet may attempt to manoeuvre to replace the head of government though, for example by proposing a new cabinet bill or voting for an early election.
