| Message | And what do you plan to do for people that have more than one car per household now? What if a family of 5 have two parents working jobs which they require a car each to go in? It is unfeasible and destroys liberty. Dr Julia. Baker Minority Speaker |

| Message | Whilst we agree with the obvious environmental benefits, making it so strict as to allow only one car seems to me to be a breach of people's liberties. So unfortunately we can't vote for this. BDGP Chairwoman Elyse Wood |
| Date | 21:12:51, February 22, 2017 CET | From | Patriotic Party of Baltusia | To | Debating the Car limit |
| Message | Madame Speaker, We welcome the BDGP'S moderate and considered response to this bill. It will restore a lot of faith in our party members that there is still an alternative to the right wing views of Mr Darvos. Cornelius Gosport Shadow Environment and Tourism Minister |
