Please protect our democracy! Allow charities to highlight issues that have been overlooked. We do not wish to live in a fascist state.

To keep democracy warm, we must have 'The cold eye of accountability'.

The Bill will discourage those of us who see little way forward in parliamentary politics but wish to take part in public affairs. That includes those nwho disagree with us as much as those who agree with us.

the fact that this government wants to quash democracy in our country is terrifying. there job is to listen to the people and take an interest in issues that are causing concern.

Placing limits on what charities and lobbying groups are allowed to speak about should nto happen in a democratic society and goes against the values of free speech, which this country is supposed to uphold. These sound like the actions of a ditatorship.

Without charities and lobbying groups being allowed to speak out, how will important issues be raised, discussed and solutions found?

Many powerful lobbying groups have large amounts of money and power to influence government decisions. The campaigning groups that reach ordinary people online have to rely on contributions from supporters on a voluntary basis. So how come they have to be restricted. Are you restricting the oil and drug companies to the same amount?

We did not vote you into power so you don't have the right to limit our right to peaceful protest

These restrictions should be lifted. This all makes it difficult to raise money for Lobbying.

I want my country to remain a democracy, and any attempt to restrict people's right to voive their opinions and views, share their knowledge and exchange ideas, is unacceptable.

How can a so called Democratic Society wish to prevent people speaking out about vital issues? Surely isn't this what our parents and ancestors fought for in the past? Did they protest and fight in vain? How can we criticise the politics of other nations and then adopt preventative Bills for our own country? It sends out a very ambiguous message. We hear the words but what is the true message?
