| Message | Mr. Speaker, if Mr. Frost would allow us, we would like to clear out some of our opinions about this proposal. Within our party there is no opposition whatsoever to this proposal, because it all makes sense. About the border control we can be clear. We have had diseases, extremism and dangerous goods and persons 'invading' our nation over the past decades. We cannot be to strict about border controls. About the right to fire striking workers: we do not believe that the change in law will change a lot. We are happy with the current law, but if we have the fair political opinion of our MPs, they will never punish a worker who legitimately chooses to go on strike. These individuals will be protected by law and by our politicians. Our party has always been in favor of recording every citizen's DNA. This will help us a lot in case of disaster or in case of criminal facts. We want that recording for helping identification of victims, lost and found persons, and so one. We cannot keep focused on criminals when we're talking about DNA. Our party is not against multiple citizenship, but in accordance with our international view the State should know about this. We can always use such individuals to help us gain access to the culture of another nation and so on. In the worst case, when there should be war with another nation, we could obtain vital information from these citizens. The other two proposals are simply an outlining of the current law, which we can accept. We urge all parties to think about this and eventually support this proposal. Obviously, this is our opinion, not necessarily the one of PLUP. Basil Searim Minister of Foreign Affairs |
| Date | 01:06:40, December 07, 2017 CET | From | Lodamun Freedom Party | To | Debating the House Keeping Bill |
| Message | Mr. Speaker, While the LFP can support some of the proposals in this bill, we cannot support the bill in its entirety. We support articles 2 and 6 as we believe it is important for our country to know who is entering and who has citizenship in other countries. We cannot support article 1 as we believe every citizen of Lodanum has a right to privacy unless they are convicted of a crime and forfeit that right. We also cannot support articles 4 and 5 as we believe this will bring more burdensome government regulations on the businesses of Lodamun. William Harris LFP Leader |
| Date | 18:26:49, December 08, 2017 CET | From | Lodamun Democratic Socialist Party | To | Debating the House Keeping Bill |
| Message | Mr Speaker, The LDP is interested in the proposls in Articles 4 and 5, but the remainder of this bill is either an invasion of privacy of our citizens or an attempt to rebuild the walls that used to fence Lodamun off from the world. We cannot support it in its present form. Loren Courtenay LDP Leader |
