| Message | Rep. Burton, We have several options regarding the citizenship. We could give everyone a chance at getting a citizenship by completing a citizenship test. We abstained from putting such a radical policy into this amendment, but if that would please you, we shall, if circumstances would allow it, change this bill. This amendment is still in a debate phase and is open for change. Non-voting MP, Gerald Hernandez |

| Message | Mr Speaker (expression addressing to the Parliament speaker, not necessary a party), Our stance is that we should not see a bill restricting the freedoms of the people. Tests for citizenship are not needed and i do not know with what it can help much than be a block against poorer people who cannot afford to pass them be restricted. Their not efficient either from stopping terrorists or criminals, or troublemakers. I do not think passing a test means anything, it is just that, passing a test by memorizing some stuff then you can enter in. There is no use of it really. Oscar Burton, Representative of SAF-B |

| Message | Mr Speaker, One further note, We do not support renaming prime minister to state elder. It makes it sound paternalist and hierarchist, which is already worse than the current naming. Best would be to abolish the Cabinet and Parliament as in current form altogether. Though we are opened to keep Prime Minister as current name as we find it less hierarchist sounding than "State Elder", like we're some kind of tribe. Oscar Burton, Representative of SAF-B |
