Message | Speaker, We find it necessary to be able to extract information with whatever means possible from individuals who are a theat to national security, which is why we oppose any bill calling for a ban on torture. We must keep the option open: you never know when we may need it. Jürgen Rotstein |

Message | Mr Speaker, We are torn on this proposal. Historically our party had always supported it in dire circumstances. However as of present we are torn presently; for now we shall support this proposal but will stay open to reasons for opposition. Markus Borchers, FD Leader |

Random quote: "If democracy is ever to be threatened, it will not be by revolutionary groups burning government offices and occupying the broadcasting and newspaper offices of the world. It will come from disenchantment, cynicism and despair caused by the realization that the New World Order means we are all to be managed and not represented." - Tony Benn |
