| Message | The people of this nation elect a government to run this country on the behalf of them, and give voice to the majority of the people. It is a malignant cancerous evil propagated by the Left-whinge that an unelected minority can be allowed to attempt to overturn a democratically elected governments decision. Unions have their place WITHIN their own workplace and should be restricted to that sphere. Once they attempt to overturn democratically elected government decisions they have gone way too far and the recently passed bill will again give them that power. |
| Date | 23:47:52, January 11, 2006 CET | From | Conservative-Libertarian Party (UM) | To | Debating the Union Control Bill |
| Message | We fully support this bill. It is almost an exact replica of the Right is Right Party's very first proposal. For the repeal of that ever to have happened is disgusting. We must not let the socialist nobodies attempt to overthrow the government. |
| Date | 22:55:07, January 13, 2006 CET | From | Libertarian Republican Party | To | Debating the Union Control Bill |
| Message | Unions defy the government and the Rule of Law. They should be banned and considered terrorist groups. |
