| Message | Mr. Marshall, The Reform party is on a wild deregulation rampage, leaving majority of environmental and civil service matters towards local governments. What the Reform party should be focusing on is ensuring that they are no longer called such a name, but rather who they represent - libertarian capitalist ideals. Lechosław Kachorovsky President of the SPV. |

| Message | Mr. Marshall, We must agree with the SPV in this regard. While we are in favour of a minimum of regulations this hyperliberalist rampage of The Reform party is endangering our public sector and the people that depend on it. Stop this NOW! Veljko Cisek, President of the NPR |
