Message | Oppose. |
Date | 20:59:52, April 25, 2017 CET | From | Progression | To | Debating the Biological and Chemical Weapons Bill |
Message | We were under the impression that the Association of Consumers and Taxpayers would be in favour of policies which would reduce the tax burden on taxpayers! |
Date | 22:34:56, April 25, 2017 CET | From | Association of Consumers and Taxpayers | To | Debating the Biological and Chemical Weapons Bill |
Message | ACT subscribes to a policy of 'Realpolitik' regarding foreign affairs. To the extent that our nation should be proactive and malleable in our policy prescriptions on behalf of national interests, ACT believes that the option to develop, purchase, store and/or use chemical and/or biological weaponry should be maintained. Whether we would in fact exercise said option is an entirely different question that would be addressed on a case-by-case basis. |

Message | Maybe the ACT should be called the Realpolitik Party instead, since they are lying to the electorate? |
Date | 22:54:56, April 25, 2017 CET | From | Association of Consumers and Taxpayers | To | Debating the Biological and Chemical Weapons Bill |
Message | ACT is confounded at this accusation. The party has not committed to any of the development, purchase, storage or usage of chemical and/or biological weaponry. We fail to see how a policy simply allowing the option to appropriate provisions for defence has anything to do with the tax burden. As a party, we remain as always committed to tax reform through lowering, broadening and flattening of tax rates. In fact, we recently drafted bills on infrastructure, health care and education reform to make such tax reform possible. |

Message | In any event, if your party feels so strongly about this, perhaps it should put this bill up for a vote? |
Date | 05:38:04, April 26, 2017 CET | From | Patriots Party | To | Debating the Biological and Chemical Weapons Bill |
Message | We strongly oppose this bill. If passed we may use the extra money to buy a white flag for every man, woman and child in the nation. They can be waived upon our takeover by a foreign nation. |

Message | It is good to see how strongly the Party of Patriots believe in public health and education. |
Date | 09:49:23, April 26, 2017 CET | From | Patriots Party | To | Debating the Biological and Chemical Weapons Bill |
Message | These areas are fully funded and will be supported by everyone within the PP when they are the topic of discussion. Until then we will oppose measures which open our nation up to invasion and destruction. |
Date | 09:51:43, April 26, 2017 CET | From | Progression | To | Debating the Biological and Chemical Weapons Bill |
Message | The Luthori military already consists of soldiers, tanks, fighter jets, helicopters, various weapons systems, a navy and nuclear weapons. This hardly weakens our country's defences. |
