| Date | 16:22:33, February 08, 2007 CET | From |  Likaton Coalition of the Willing | To | Debating the Budget proposal of November 2356 |
| Message | We cannot support a measure that raises spending when we have a deficit. |
| Date | 22:36:29, February 08, 2007 CET | From | AM Populist Social Democrats | To | Debating the Budget proposal of November 2356 |
| Message | We have a surplus of over $4 billion, and the SSP proposal shifts spending but keeps the total (see the "Total" line) exactly the same. While we aren't thrilled with the defense cuts, we will nevertheless vote yes in a spirit of compromise. |

| Random fact: Particracy allows you to establish an unelected head of state like a monarch or a president-for-life, but doing this is a bit of a process. First elect a candidate with the name "." to the Head of State position. Then change your law on the "Structure of the executive branch" to "The head of state is hereditary and symbolic; the head of government chairs the cabinet" and change the "formal title of the head of state" to how you want the new head of state's title and name to appear (eg. King Percy XVI). |
