| Message | The Protectorate Party seems to imply that these articles are parts of a coherent moral philosophy and should be rejected or accepted as a whole. On the contrary, we find it is possible to be ethically and philosophically consistent while still only accepting/rejecting some of the articles. As such, we feel they should be debated and voted upon separately. The Regressives will vote against this bill. |

| Message | We are truely sadden that we do not have the Regressives support on this bill, which after all only promotes greater freesom to our citizens. Rights all individuals should possess and would in a truely compassionate society. We understand that there are some issues which one may disagree with, however we feel that each of the four proposals need to pass and should we seperate them we feel there is a greater chance that some will fail. If the Regressives could share which articles they can support and which articles they will not (and why), perhaps we can find opportunities to work together on future bills. |
