| Message | Mr. Chairman, It is completely wrong to deny released criminals their democratic rights. This is not the first time the TGP has demonstrated worrying authoritarian tendencies. We also see no reason to impose extra requirements on trade union strike ballots. Governments and Presidents are frequently elected with the support of less than 50% of those eligible to vote. If a simple majority is good enough to elect a government or a President, why is it not good enough for a trade union to hold a strike?

| Message | Mr. Chairman, Does the DKP hear itself talk? Criminals are criminals. They corrupt our society and destroy lives of fair Dorvish citizens. It is only fair in that perspective that we as the Dorvish state will put a time limit on the right to vote for these criminals. They have to adept to society as we said before. And this is the only way to do it so they know that their crimes are not immediately forgiven when they come out of jail. Theodore Aswalt, President of the TGP |

| Message | Mr. Chairman, The best way to rehabilitate ex-criminals is to reincorporate them back into society, and that includes allowing them to participate in elections. Denying them the vote will simply increase their sense of alienation. Anton Weinreich General Secretary of the Dorvish Communist Party |
