Description[?]:
Mr Speaker, this bill seeks to achieve a departure from the notion that the consumer is a hapless and uninformed fool who requires government's assistance in each and every respect of his life. Everyone knows that smoking is bad and that a pack of peanuts should not be consumed by people suffering from peanut allergy, it is simply superfluous red tape to compel companies to restrict their advertising or add "corresponding nutritional information" to their products or impose similarly vexatious duties on them. Erwin Schausberger Leader of Frisinnede Venstre |

Random fact: It usually takes up to an hour for election results to generate. During this time, the "Next Election" date is put forward a month, which is confusing. Do not worry! In a short time, the election result will generate and the "Next Election" date will then correct itself. |
