| Message | We would be glad to give all parties a chance to vote on it, but we don't understand your having supported it the first time around and now backing its repeal. Anyone can propose its repeal, and we hope that the parties that have recently been absent all return and can choose to do so if they like. We hope they do not want to, but if they do they have that right. We hope to see an active nation again. It is also true, however, that decisions are made by those who show up. |

| Message | We want to add to that: It is no less "stealth" when only two parties are voting and your party is the larger one to pass an extreme pacifism bill, when the parties that would need to defeat it are not around. But, we would not have complained had the LITP not, as it goes back to "decisions are made by those who show up." |

| Message | The PLPL raise a valid point. If a second party votes against the repeal, we will switch our vote. |

| Message | How about abstaining or voting no unless a third party logs in and votes (unless you actually believe in the change you're proposing)? Then, if one does, you can vote on the side of the third party-- whichever one it is-- and let that party decide whether the law is changed. Again, if you really believe in your vote on the merits, or as a means of positioning your party for the election, you have every right to do what you're doing. If you're doing it because you don't believe that it was okay for me to make a proposal (one which you were on and could have blocked at the time but chose not to), then I strongly disagree-- and in fact I'd say it was no different from your unilateral disarmament bill. I'm really hoping inactive parties activate, as this is not a game to be played with two parties-- or three, once the libertarians come back, given that I know they'll disagree with me on almost everything. I want the MMP and RWL back, and the UDLP if possible...and some new parties ideally. |
