| Message | Libertarians, why oppose? It is insane to allow anyone to get a passport? Surely you can see that it is not particularly hard for criminals to aquire multiple passports? Or for people smugglers to bring kidnapped girls into the country from abroad? We should at least strive to control our borders. |

| Message | If this doesnt pass I plan to propose more strict controls that we would actually prefer. Compromise and centrism are the only way to succeed. |

| Message | if this doesn't pass how do you plan on something stricter to fly through... I'm having a hard time convincing myself against this bill, I'll support, but let this be the end of it. |

| Message | We didnt propose this, we would have proposed a more efffeective level of security. If this fails, we will have to take matters into our own hands, that is all. |

| Random fact: The people in your nation don't like inactive parties. When you often abstain from voting for a bill, they will dislike your party and your visibility to the electorate will decrease significantly. Low visibility will means you are likely to lose seats. So keep in mind: voting Yes or No is always better than Abstaining. |
