| Message | We believe that people will sensibly self regulate - they don't need a nanny state telling them what to do all the time. The current pollution legislation is harming business owners, who are discouraged from setting up or expanding because of punitive laws like this. Bathsheba Grey, Patriotic Party Leader. |

| Random fact: By default the head of government is the ultimate authority within a national government. In general terms, heads of government are expected to consult with cabinet colleagues (including those from other parties) before making significant decisions but they remain responsible for government action. |
