| Message | [The LGC votes on the bill as is: Social Democrats: 125 for, 48 against Libertarians: 49 for, 172 against Centrists: 4 for, 0 against Nationalists: 57 for, 13 against Conservatives: 72 for, 59 against Out of the 599 MPs of the LGC, 307 votes in favor while 292 vote in opposition.] --- Mr. Speaker, The LGC has reached majority support on this measure and therefore will vote in favor. Proponents see this as a more efficient organization of our police force and less of a burden on government spending. There are multiple views of its opposition within the party, some saying that'd rather see the national government not fund the police at all and leave it to private firms, some saying to leave it entirely with local governments, or some saying that this should entirely be of the responsibility of the government such as is in current law.
