MessageMr. Speaker,

While we will support the law change proposed by the ecosocialists, we humbly request our colleagues of the Ecosocialist Party to abstain from such hyperbolic rhetoric used in his proposal

MessageWe, the Party for Liberation of the People. would like to amend this Bill. Shouldn't fireworks be legal for festivities and such, maybe our people can ask for a permit for that specific celebration?

MessageMr. Speaker,

I sincerely understand the objections of our colleagues at the PSP, but unfortunately, fireworks can lead to massacres. I don't want to get explicit, but the stories of the expierences of doctors who have to deal with injuries caused by fireworks are... bloody.

MessageMr. Speaker,

The Animal Liberation Front strongly opposes the use of fireworks as part of celebration. The use of such explosives is downright an attack on the blessed spirit of Gaia. Even though we understand that the Ecosocialist Party strives to reduce the use of such brutal weapons against this planet the ALF can in no world support a bill that accepts this violence by the state against its own citizens.

May the spirits of life guide you on your vote.

MessageMr. Speaker,

The Liberal Party considers this bill nonsensical. The Ecosocialist Party would take the right of our citizens to celebrate New Years in the way they want to away. We do not condone this use of government powers to limit fun.

MessageMr. Speaker,

The Liberal Party seems to miss the point of this legislation by miles. This is an act to prevent injuries and deaths of citizens of Lodamun. If you lose your eye, it won't be that funny anymore. Sometimes, you have to choose your priorities, and we choose to save lifes in these.

MessageMr Speaker,

Does the Liberal Party deem the torture of countless non-human animals each year, by ruthless youth, with makeshift explosives, fun?

May the spirits of life guide you on your vote.

ToDebating the Firework has to be reserved for professionals
MessageMr. Speaker,

We believe the general public should be able to buy small fireworks and leave the larger ones and those featured at fireworks shows to the professionals. We shouldn't restrict the entire general public from the smaller fireworks over this as we don't believe it's nearly as much of an issue as it's being conflated to be here. We cannot support this proposal.

MessageMr. Speaker,

The Liberal Party has never, does not and never will condone needless cruelty towards other living beings. The culprits of such wanton violence should be dealt with according to the law. However, it is by no means necessary to punish an entire nation for the acts of a few outliers.

MessageMr. Speaker,

The Liberal Party is at it again. 'A few outliers' is unfortunately a frame that doesn't come close to the truth. Following average numbers of firework-related accidents during NYE, almost 2% of the citizens had trouble with fireworks or was involved in any kind of accident. This is way to much to let pass by. I guess that the LP doesn't want blood on their hands, do they?

MessageMr. Speaker,

The ALF would like to remind the Eco-socialist Party that the numbers they present are even possibly many times higher as the casualties among our non-human fellow citizens are not even visible in these statistics.

The Ecosocialist Party agrees with our colleagues at the ALF - also for animals, firework can be very dangerous.
