| Message | [As is, this is the LGC's position on this proposal: Social Democrats: 176 for, 15 against Libertarians: 29 for, 215 against Centrists: 2 for, 3 against Nationalists: 27 for, 0 against Conservatives: 44 for, 88 against Out of the 599 MPs of the LGC, 278 votes in favor while 321 vote in opposition. As is, the LGC would vote against this bill.] --- Mr. Speaker, This bill is way too restrictive on the private citizen. We are not fond of the government having as much control as to dictate what kind of vehicle the population drives. We would much rather prefer the current law; to encourage, not force, the people toward environmentally friendly-fueled cars. Jason Carson, LGC Chairman, Leader of the LGC Libertarian Faction |

| Message | [After the recent election, this is now the LGC's position on this proposal: Social Democrats: 130 for, 12 against Libertarians: 17 for, 127 against Centrists: 5 for, 8 against Nationalists: 62 for, 0 against Conservatives: 24 for, 50 against Out of the 435 MPs of the LGC, 238 votes in favor while 197 vote in opposition. The LGC is now set to vote for the bill.] --- Mr. Speaker, We believe this legislation must pass to ensure the people of our nation does their part to help the environment. In the past when this was the policy, our nation has prospered while enjoying much cleaner air. The policy change back in 4577, which was passed by this very party, had seen a gradual reintroduction to fossil fuel-powered vehicles and our air has gotten dirtier as a result. We must rectify this as soon as possible! Roland Moore, LGC Social Democratic Faction Leader |
