| Date | 10:09:28, August 29, 2014 CET | From | Tomorrow Party | To | Debating the Miscellaneous Bill of 3719 |
| Message | The Government agrees with article 3 and 4. The government disagrees with 1,2,5 and 6. 1) The Minister of Finance has already proposed a bill on this. 2) Euthanasia should be considered as murder because it is a form of suicide. This Government does not agree with suicide, we are happy to help our citizens by funding rehabs or the like because we do not believe in giving up. We are committed to our citizens. It will also be too time consuming to get a court order and everything - what happens if the patent disagrees? 5) The Government does not believe we should us corporal punishment. Prison, community service and fines are already successfully teaching our citizens. We do not want to encourage violence unless it is to do with the military and the safeguarding of our nation. 6) We believe that the retirement age may look into being reviewed but 70 is too old to place for a retirement age. Selucia's citizens need some sort of motivation and to look forward to retirement. The Government and everyone in the Federal Parliament are prepared to negotiate this. Currently, the Government will vote no to this bill. However, we do strongly encourage the party to continue with this feedback. Kind Regards, Alexander Schrattenhaler |

Indeed, it has been said that democracy is the worst form of government except all those other forms that have been tried from time to time." - Winston Churchill |
