| Message | RISE cannot support this because of article 3, 11, 12, 13, 15. For 12 we would have hoped to have seen the right to abortion during the whole course of pregnancy. Thank you Craig Davidson |
| Date | 16:34:01, February 07, 2016 CET | From | Libertarian Socialist Confederation | To | Debating the Reforms of 3979 |
| Message | The Libertarian Socialist Confederation is disappointed to see the RISE Movement not supporting bills that are less bad than the current policies. |
| Date | 17:17:35, February 07, 2016 CET | From | RISE Movement | To | Debating the Reforms of 3979 |
| Message | I hope the LSC recognises Article 3 restricts peolple from pacifist views. That Article 11 has the possibility for corruption. Article 12, although a step in the right direction is too little a step to be positive. Article 13, yet again a step in the right direction (ish) but not a big enough step. After reading over article we support this although we would much rather view Solentia as a refuge for those in need. Thank you Craig Davidson |
