| Message | Mr Speaker We believe that advertising should in fact be regulated to ensure that they are not misleading. We cannot support the second article on Civil Defence either. We are strongly in favour of the third article, we couldn't be more so, and the same goes for articles 4 and 5. Despite us disagreeing with the first article particularly, our strong agreement for the last three articles will force us to vote in favour. Joe Purefoy Leader of Choice |

| Message | Mr Speaker, It is our belief that advertising be regulated and that workers can strike without fear of being fired and even though we support the articles on civil defence and abortion, we cannot support this bill. I yield, |

| Random fact: In order for a Cabinet bill to pass, more than half of the legislature must vote for it and all of the parties included in the proposed Cabinet must support it. If your nation has a Head of State who is also the Head of Government, then the party controlling this character must also vote for the bill, since the Head of Government is also a member of the Cabinet. If any of these requirements are not met, the bill will not pass. |
