| Message | My values again conflict, I'm afraid I'll give my uneasy support and hope the majority of Parliament decide it's fate according to how it will work out best. |

| Message | What qualms does the Sonservative Party have with the bill. We also support Devolution of the fire department, and would be glad to change it if the Conservatives were more at ease with the alternative |

| Message | I do not like devolution at all. I like the current arrangement, but I understand your concerns with private companies providing our fire protection. The market should be as private as possible, but there are some occasions when the government must take a lead in some aspects such as law enforcement and protection. Too bad we cannot have lots of subsidised private fire protection companies and a small amount of public ones to ensure a small amount of public protection if the private sector fails. |
