| Message | All the proposals are all over the place. You have positions I agree with in some cases but some that I don't. Wouldn't it be better to split this bill into parts? |
| Date | 17:46:08, April 01, 2006 CET | From |  Front Canrillaise | To | Debating the Beach Party Visibility Increasing Bill :) |
| Message | It would have been more wise to split it because as the LDP said before it increases your visibility in single-proposal bills as oppose to stacking a whole bunch of them in one place. |
| Date | 23:48:45, April 01, 2006 CET | From | Beach Party | To | Debating the Beach Party Visibility Increasing Bill :) |
| Message | Losing bills helps more than winning bills as well. I just wanted to see if this would help or not and with terms so short I don't have time to mess around. |
