| Message | It is wrong to assume that these articles can only be rejected or accepted as a whole, rather than rejected and accepted individually. They should be debated and voted upon separately. |
| Date | 02:40:38, February 03, 2006 CET | From |  Protectorate Party | To | Debating the Rein in our Businesses |
| Message | Though each of these proposals are of seperate issues we find that they are linked by the need to introduce some level of control over our industries. We feel that if they are sepreated it is more likely that one (or more) will fail, then if they are seperate. We would like them all to pass thus they are linked together in one bill. |
