| 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 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. |
