| Message | Article 2 of this legislation is genuinely troubling to the SDP. The CNP claimed the Alliance as undemocratic in voting against their legislation regarding the speaker. Now that they have a majority, they demand the head of state appoints a democratically elected position. We demand the immediate repeal of this article. What could possibly be the reasoning behind this regressive article? How dare the government take away the rights of local governments to choose their leader? |
| Date | 18:59:45, April 14, 2020 CET | From | Conservative Nationalist Party | To | Debating the CNP: Citizenship Protection Act 2 |
| Message | In regard to article 2; The government has the support of the president in our plans to call upon him to ensure all mayors of local governments are to be Conservative Nationalist Party Members and politicians. This will ensure the CNP has true control in both local and national government |
| Date | 19:04:05, April 14, 2020 CET | From | Social Democrat Party | To | Debating the CNP: Citizenship Protection Act 2 |
| Message | This is borderline tyrannical. Why must all local governments support your party? Is the CNP opposed to politicians sharing different opinions than them? We demand better reasoning behind this article rather than summed up saying "Our party adding this article to expand the powers of our party to an undemocratic degree". |
| Date | 19:08:10, April 14, 2020 CET | From | Conservative Nationalist Party | To | Debating the CNP: Citizenship Protection Act 2 |
| Message | We believe we have received a mandate from the mortician people that gives us a sufficient presence in the legislature to pass this bill. Therefore it is our democratic right to do so. We do so to ensure full governmental power is centralised not only to the institutions of government but primarily centralised to the Conservative Nationalist Party itself. |
| Date | 19:12:43, April 14, 2020 CET | From | Social Democrat Party | To | Debating the CNP: Citizenship Protection Act 2 |
| Message | Your party is tyrannical and a direct threat to our democracy. Next, would you like to abolish state elections so power is centralized to the CNP? After that, why not abolish all elections and allow permanent governmental power to be vested in the CNP? You dare insult the Alliance Party as they refuse to give the power of the speaker to the opposition, calling it undemocratic, but abolish elections instead? We demand the immediate repeal of this article or the SDP will be forced to break down all relations with the government. |
| Date | 19:17:36, April 14, 2020 CET | From | Conservative Nationalist Party | To | Debating the CNP: Citizenship Protection Act 2 |
| Message | The government wishes to see through the passing of this legislation, due to its significance in the very exciting MHS creation legislation for which we are delighted to have SDP support on the matter. We will work with all opposition parties where we can. However let us be clear; Currently, statistically based upon the national elections, more than 1 in 2 mayors is currently a CNP representative. We do not impose tyranny, we are creating a more effective communication structure between local and national government. We will agree to a mid term review of this policy to see whether it improves relations between local and national government. If no such positives are found then we will repeal article 2 of this bill. But be rest assured, we willl continue to protect democracy in our nation and beyond! |
| Date | 19:27:31, April 14, 2020 CET | From | Social Democrat Party | To | Debating the CNP: Citizenship Protection Act 2 |
| Message | A mid term review of this policy is not good enough. If a national government is effective, it can communicate efficiently with local governments. I ask again: why not abolish state elections if it would increase the communication between states and the national government? Why not abolish federal elections, so all levels communicate easily? Because that is tyranny. We do not stand for this legislation and anything less than an immediate repeal of that article is not sufficient. Anything less will cause relations between our two parties to entirely break down. If you say you will continue to "protect democracy", act upon your words. Learn that democracy is not executive national appointments but is fair and free elections. Repeal the article and we will begin cooperation again between the SDP and CNP. |
| Date | 19:31:31, April 14, 2020 CET | From | Conservative Nationalist Party | To | Debating the CNP: Citizenship Protection Act 2 |
| Message | The government is very concerned by an escalation of events. However we will continue to support this particular bill. If upon the passing of this bill the SDP wises to revoke article 2, the government will be willing to engage with the leader of the opposition, should they propose legislation to do so. It is imperative that the rest of these articles are passed. |
| Date | 19:42:15, April 14, 2020 CET | From | Social Democrat Party | To | Debating the CNP: Citizenship Protection Act 2 |
| Message | The fact that the government does not propose an immediate revision is startling. Though the SDP does not agree with the rest of the articles in this bill, none are as detestable as article 2. The fact such an article was proposed in the first place is enough to completely break down relations between our two parties. The SDP demands a revised bill be proposed, without article 2, or the SDP will be forced to take further action against this government, which has proven itself to be untrustworthy and does not have the confidence of the SDP and assumes the Alliance Party feels the same. Following actions will be taken against the CNP if it does not repeal this bill and create a revised version without article 2. |
| Date | 19:48:03, April 14, 2020 CET | From | Conservative Nationalist Party | To | Debating the CNP: Citizenship Protection Act 2 |
| Message | We will support the immediate reversal of article 2 upon the passing of this act if proposed by the SDP. The Ministry of the Head of the Government will ensure that until the passing of this bill mayoral elections continue as normal, and such events will continue after the revoking of this bill. Which will be BEFORE the end of mayoral terms and so to put it simply, 'no harm done' |
| Date | 23:54:46, April 14, 2020 CET | From | Alliance Party | To | Debating the CNP: Citizenship Protection Act 2 |
| Message | The Alliance will support whatever action the SDP deems appropriate. The CNP has, in no time at all, begun to break democracy and bring contempt upon Parliament, charges it thinks it can deflect away from by bandying those very accusations at other parties whenever the CNP are made to feel uncomfortable. The Alliance asserts the following: The CNP has no such assumed mandate from the people. Parliament had been provided with some glimpses of the behaviour of the CNP, but we would not have expected some of the things already being spewed up by this government. We feel sure that our citizens will be equally if not more surprised and alarmed at who they have voted for. This term of office is your manifesto, CNP, and the verdict upon it will be the next election, not the previous one. |
| Date | 15:32:21, April 15, 2020 CET | From | Conservative Nationalist Party | To | Debating the CNP: Citizenship Protection Act 2 |
| Message | To clarify, the Alliance party has yet again not voted against the government. Showing they likely do not disagree with our policies but are too afraid to say that this government keeps getting things right! |
| Date | 23:54:49, April 15, 2020 CET | From | Alliance Party | To | Debating the CNP: Citizenship Protection Act 2 |
| Message | To clarify, the voting window has not yet closed - how dare the CNP keep spreading fake news that the Alliance has not voted against the government. We vote now, and let there be no doubt whatsoever to any party, but particularly the CNP - that the Alliance definitively DOES DISAGREE with the CNP's policies - and furthermore IS NOT AFRAID TO SAY whatever it feels if appropriate about this wretched government. |
