| Message | We must ask the representatives from the MDP not to include proposals that are not related, as it makes voting on single bills difficult and often irrational. |

| Message | We have a long tradition of having bills in Malivia that include unrelated proposals..as omnibus bills. I feel its better to have several bills..having a few proposals each that can be negotiated..that it is to have three times as many bills with only one proposal. |

| Message | These proposals have absolutely no relation to one another. Food regulations and medical payments aren't even covered by the same ministries. An argument might be made for national food standards, but combined with a rider creating a private market in medicine we cannot support it. |
