| Date | 14:54:27, January 26, 2021 CET | From | National Reformist Coalition | To | Debating the Parties of the Princely Agreement: The Question of Local Rights |
| Message | Mr Speaker, It is the opinion of the National Reformist Coalition (NRC) that the responsibility of regulating and financing health and social care should be in the domain of the local government and, therefore, firmly in the hands of the electorate. If a citizen is dissatisfied with the care they receive under the regulation of their local government, they can relocate to another. However, the same does not go for the regulation of the judiciary. A national policy of obligated jury duty is in the public interest in order to ensure that the power of the judiciary remains in the hands of the electorate and aligns with the social values of our nation. It is also the opinion of the NRC that the state should remain purely secular and keep out of the affairs of all religions. Thomas Moore, Chairman of the NRC. |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, The only article that the LDP would consider supporting is the one on appointing of ministers of religion as we agree that the state shouldn't interfere with religion. We cannot agree with the rest of this proposal and will therefore vote against it should it come to a vote. Norman Moray, LDP Chairman |
| Date | 15:22:54, January 26, 2021 CET | From | Neo-Idealist Social Lodamese Party | To | Debating the Parties of the Princely Agreement: The Question of Local Rights |
| Message | Mr Speaker, We also dislike the fact that LGBT rights are put under threat with this bill, making a gateway for local governments to abuse powers against minorities. Furthermore, we think it's best for us to be able to appoint religious ministers just as the whole government is appointed by the Presidium, I see no problem in religious communities conforming to the state's norms. Nataniel Pop, Former Chairman of PSEI |
