| Message | Mr Speaker, If the article about tort reform were in a bill on its own we would support it, but we do not agree with any other article. Chairman Scott Pearson of the Workers Front. |

| Message | Mr speaker, we will not support this bill. Let's start with article 1, criminals are everywhere and yet the liberal party is supporting them by wanting to stop police keeping the public safe by overseeing the streets. Crime has fallen since police started to patrol most public areas. Article 2 however, is perfectly reasonable and the GRP don't see any advantages in keeping criminals fingerprints. But article 3 would allow local governments to allow duelling while police are nowhere to help if something goes wrong! Duelling is dangerous and would send us back to the centuries of anarchy and horror. |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, Duelling is fine way to determine or someone wins a let's say legal dispute. When the two persons in question are compliant to duel, to are allowed to, when it's allowed by their local governments. Duelling is nothing wrong with, the persons in question take the risk themselves and only they are reliable not the government. The police is suffocating normal people who can't go out of the streets without someone patrolling them and looking at them all the time. Police is only necessary when their is danger, so long there isn't they should stay of the streets! Thea Power Chair(wo)man LP |

| Message | Mr Speaker, We do not support the attempt to bring back duelling, however if the bill should pass, we would like to challenge the Liberal Party and all their fat cat funders. Aldwin Fletcher Chairman of the National Executive Committee of the Democratic Socialist Party of Rutania |
