From | Republican Party | To | Debating the Retirement age. | | Message | Our citizens have every right to determine, our their own, at what age they should retire. There should be no restriction on their right to work. |

From | mutt Party | To | Debating the Retirement age. | | Message | That is why I put it at 60 first. 60 is the age most people would like to retire. I'll put it back. |

From | Liberal Party for Equality | To | Debating the Retirement age. | | Message | The problem with this bill is that we have no legislation on public service pensions... i will go and propose some, then the age at which people retire WILL be the governments business. |

From | Proletariat Revolution Party | To | Debating the Retirement age. | | Message | Who the hell are we to tell people when to retire? Many women who stay at home during the child's early years need to work later into life for finacial security.
Further, many workers at the age of 60-68 are very able to work in a lot of cases. We shoudn't dictate when people must retire. This is an infringement upon their rights. |

From | Republican Party | To | Debating the Retirement age. | | Message | The members of the Republican Party agree with the statement made by the leader of the PEL. |

From | Liberal Party for Equality | To | Debating the Retirement age. | | Message | I think it is wrong to force people to stop working at a particular age. The only reason such an age is necessary is when there are state pensions, and this is the youngest age at which people are allowed to claim them. |
| Date | 16:09:12, June 19, 2005 CET |
From | Proletariat Revolution Party | To | Debating the Retirement age. | | Message | We should include a clause that says if they work past the age, they cna't claim the pension until they have tretired. |

From | mutt Party | To | Debating the Retirement age. | | Message | We aren't forcing people to stop working. This is just when people can officially retire. |

From | Right Wing Liberals Party | To | Debating the Retirement age. | | Message | If this was to go through it would give employers the idea to fire people once they reach this age this is unacceptable. |
