| Message | Mr Speaker Our party is split down the middle on this bill. Whilst we wholeheartedly agree with articles 1 and 2, we wholeheartedly oppose articles 3 and 4, although with regards to the death penalty we prefer your proposed law than the current law. Jeremy Perez Leader of the LSP |

| Message | Mr Speaker In a rare instance, we firmly back what the Conservatives have said. Duelling is also REGULATED thus meaning that it is only legal to "first blood", meaning no killing in duelling. Jeremy Perez Leader of the LSP |
