| Message | Mr Speaker While we support deregulation, we feel this goes to far, and restricts the rights of workers. We will never support banning trade unions. However, some of the proposals, such as the reduction in corporation tax, are key policy positions of ours. On balance, we have decided to vote no. Ellis Reece |

| Random fact: It usually takes up to an hour for election results to generate. During this time, the "Next Election" date is put forward a month, which is confusing. Do not worry! In a short time, the election result will generate and the "Next Election" date will then correct itself. |
