| Message | We don't care about Article 1, we oppose articles 2 and 3, we don't care about article 4, we oppose articles 5 and 6 and support article 7. We would also like to add that we consider it extremely bad form to combine unrelated proposals in a single bill. |

| Message | It was just a list of things which my party and the social democrats both supported, but sadly i forgot that constitutional amendments need 60%, thats why we've made other bills considering aspects of this |
