| Message | Mr speaker, I don't see how the liberal party doesn't support this bill A, it brings justice to victims of crime and terror. B, people should be applauded and awarded by the head of state as an incentive and inspiration. C, land mines are a really cleaver way to kill enemies quickly and efficently. But we propose to regulate the use of land mines for example they wouldn't be planted in populated areas. D, addictive substances can kill or seriously harm. Strong warning messages on packs will discourage yousers and children from taking the substance. Also advertising would be restricted and not banned as the G.R.P believe all companies should be able to advertise, however we must be sensible about this and restrict advertising. |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, The death penalty is a power the government should never be allowed to have. Second of all the advertising, it should be permitted and unregulated because it harms the rules of the free market if we don't. Third the land mines can come in handy killing our enemies, but they also can kill our civilians, that's why we're against. Fourth, we don't believe the Head of State should have such power to grant people nobility, it just disgusts our party to even see that article. Thea Power, Chair(wo)man LP |

| Message | Mr speaker, as this is democracy we welcome the liberals views but don't share them. We think the death penalty is acceptable and Is a great deterrent so people are put off from crimes against humanity and terrorism. We believe the death penalty should only be applied in severe cases and with a justified reason, so the government will not get to powerful. Also in the G.R.P we strongly believe in the free market rules and support the free market idea. But the consumer has a right to know that they are doing damage to their bodies. Plus advertising will be restricted and not banned so the company's and economy as a whole will not be harmed as a result. Also we can't help noticing that the head of state belongs to your political party, you should trust this guy, he supports your views. This article just allowed the head of state to reward great Rutanian heroes for their contributions to the commonwealth. |
