| Message | Mr Speaker, Article 1 causes deep pain to us, otherwise we could support this bill. We shall take time, speak to members and then decide. It is only article 1 which is holding us back currently. |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, White Rose is not a serious party and it might travel back to 4 % at the next election. How can you make so many different propositions in one bill? This is absolutely ridiculous! We agree with some, not with others and we will only vote on bills that are clear and that have coherent propositions. Our members are leaving the Diet because we won't waste our time debating on such poorly made bills! |

| Message | Mr Speaker, There are some bills we support and many others we don't, the ICP will abstain on this one. |
