| Message | These proposals are an inacceptable restriction of the people´s freedom |
| Date | 23:21:08, March 16, 2022 CET | From | Likatonian Freedom Party | To | Debating the National Health Policy |
| Message | The government should promote such things, and support religious institutions that do the same, but government should not take control of such industries. |
| Date | 09:12:24, March 17, 2022 CET | From | The New Right | To | Debating the National Health Policy |
| Message | In terms of Health Care Policy and the Funding of Sports Clubs, it is evident that the Likatonian Front is attempting to institute State Socialism, trumping the economic freedoms and rights given to Likatonians. Not only is it in violation of natural rights, it will not promote health among Likatonians. The state has always been known for its failure at economic calculation and inherent mismanagements in economic affairs, often resulting in perverse effects. While the State ought to promote a healthy life-style for Likatonians, it shall not infringe upon the liberties of Likatonians. In regards to policy towards alcoholic beverages and sale of tobacco, this issue ought to be reserved for local governments instead. The national government shall not concern itself with petty civil liberties issues such as these, unless there is a significant reason for such considerations. |
