| Message | Article 1: Working standards are never the same wherever you are, but that is only one argument to let it be run locally. It is a split issue. The right-wing hate it and the left-wing hate it. Since it is hard to get a national understanding on this we should be real democrats and lets the people decide. If the FLP cares about the farmers wouldnt they want farmers to regulate the working hours instead some other guys on the other side of the island. Article 2: Diffearant areas always have differant levels of crime. We need to make sure that everyone is safe so by letting local governments decide if their area needs a curfew we are not enforcing it on everybody, but we are only makin the place more safe for the ones that are affected. Conclusion: This bill Will hopefully pass since I think that both The Right-Wing And the Let cand understand and agree on what I am saying. And for the LP. By doing these changes we are not making government bigger. We are decreasing government to only affect those who it directly affects. |

| Message | I'm open o article 2, that said I can not in good conscience support article one. We are a very small country, and generally speaking I don't think devolution is necessary here. And I don't think it's a good idea to have individual cities and town have different labor laws. |

| Message | We Beleive that localism is needed Everywhere. Even though we are small, 20 million ppl cannot be controlled through a strong centralized state. Labour Laws should be Differant since Labour is Differant in Differant places. |
