| Message | "Honor Bound to Defend Freedom" To compel people to have a private pension means to force people against their will, to violate their freedom of action and choice. This contradicts the message to defend freedom and so I oppose. Although the current Article 2 is not ideal, the proposition to alter it is seen as a step backwards. |

| Message | I feel artice 2 is fine as it is. Also I would have thought forcing people into a compulsory pension goes rather against the beliefs of the BLP. We also feel the law is fine on article 1 |

| Message | True, art 2 is a compromise. We believe it is an improvement to the current situation. Art 1 means to exclude large and rich families. |
