| Message | Mr Speaker We in the Moderate party does not see that it is up to the state if a man or man or woman or woman should be able to marry. This is simply giving more power to the state over normal peoples lives. And for that we simply can not support this. It should be up to the churches if they want to marry a couple or not. Not the state! As a party on the right who wants to limit the government we will vote no! Francis Urquhart leader of the moderate party |

| Message | Mr Speaker Today the churches have no right in saying if someone should be able to get married or not. We think that is wrong and that the power should be with them and not the government. We in the moderate party see rather worryingly how 3Right seem to favor a larger government with each passing day and they have even started to talk with the communists.. This law does not lessen the power of the churches..it increases the power of the state Francis Urquhart leader of the moderate party |

| Message | Mr Speaker, Every person has a right to be heard. I remember that you believed that once. The state is not bad when it is being harnessed for good. Larissa Newton |

| Message | Mr Speaker I have never tried to limit the right to be heard for no one. However it is a rather worrying direction to the left that 3Right is taking right now. And we will never work together with communists as we have a strong faith in our democracy. Unlike some... Francis Urquhart leader of the Moderate party |

| Message | Mr Speaker, Like those who don't want people to vote for their own mayors? So undemocratic, aren't they? Larissa Newton |

| Message | Mr Speaker It would seem that Larissa has trouble on focusing on what is in front of her? I think it would be better if she keeps her foucs on this bill. A bill that will expand the state and stand in the way of people. And for the record we simply want to keep our tradition in this beautiful nation while 3Right along with the communists seeks to destroy our traditions and values. candidate for Health and Social Services: Sara Bennet |

| Message | Mr Speaker, But you're okay with the church possibly standing in the way of people? Odd. Larissa Newton |

| Message | Mr Speaker As said previously we are in favor of the church having the power given to them by god. The state has been given no power by god. The state shouldn't stand in the way but yes if a church wishes to stand in the way because it goes against their faith then they should be able to. candidate for Health and Social Services: Sara Bennet |
