| Message | It should be worth noting that a large proportion of the population want the current situation and >60% want the system to be at least partially user pays - http://80.237.164.51/particracy/main/viewnews.php?newsid=32425&nation=12. We would like to see how the HPP will be able to find the money for this. |

| Message | Then let the voters decide if i can peform my politics in the chamber of the republic. If the majority don't like my party then let them vote for another (i think they already do that). The HPP do not believe in populism, but when the people agree with our goals, it is our duty as MEP to fight for their right. About the money, we will find places that can adequately compensate for the expendure. |
