| Message | Once again, the people still yearn for the right to own a private automobile, and the latest election results have confirmed that the MDP is in touch with a vast majority of the electorate despite missing a few votes early in the year. At some point, Malivia will return to the freedom of a personal car, thanks to the MDPs persistence, and Malivia will be better served by it. |

| Message | We can only hope that this backwards movement will end with time. Our nation is better with thte end of the age of the auto. We lead the nations of the world in ecofriendliness, and our tourism industry can demonstrate the desire for clean cities and preserved countrysides. Yes the people will need time to adjust to the new lifestyles, however we should not decide based only on polls. The people have elected us as leaders to think beyond the present growing pains and work toward a better Malivia and way of life. |

| Message | Again, the MDP believes in representing the peoples will in regards to their own freedoms... If the popular opinion on banning cars reaches a majority opinion in any of the polls, the MDP will reconsider its opinion. In the meantime, we'll continue to provide them a voice on this matter. |

| Message | This is a total waste of the jawatankuasa's time. This proposal clearly does not have the required votes to pass, and is merely an extension of the MDP's desire to hear their own voices on the floor. |
