| Message | We have added two more proposals: one to remove fishing quotas and one to ban GM foods (these abominations against God were developed to feed the starving masses of the 3rd world - no need for them here!) Can we still rely on the support of the same parties? |
| Date | 05:38:24, February 19, 2007 CET | From | Imperial Party | To | Debating the PLO Rural Affairs Manifesto |

| Date | 00:58:59, February 21, 2007 CET | From | Catholic Justicial Party - Solidarity | To | Debating the PLO Rural Affairs Manifesto |
| Message | So the bill passed. A resounding victory for inbred aristos. A crushing defeat for the environment. |
