| Message | Positive Discrimination is discrimination of the majority. Whoever is best suited for the job should get the job regardless of their race, sex, age, religion, political beliefs, ethnic origin, nationality etc. |

| Message | If this bill gets through, it will be the first bill we propose to remove when the balance of power shifts in the next election. LITP's grip over this Convocation is ending. |
| Date | 17:06:52, February 22, 2007 CET | From | Commonwealth Workers Army | To | Debating the Fit for purpose 2 |
| Message | Frankly, we are disgusted that the 'independent thought' party would be so willing to embrace the divisive mentality we are seeing. We vote against this step towards a ghetto nation. |

| Message | We also find ourselves in agreement with the ConLibs on this issue. We oppose all discrimination, and furthermore we would like to note that by devolving the issue it leaves things open for LFFR-controlled local governments to discriminate against minorities just as it might open LITP-controlled governments to discriminate in their favor. |

| Message | OOC: PLPL thank you for that inventive observation - something I hadn't even thought of.. with the LFFR being the largest party but unrepresented it is entirely possible there would be fascist dominated councils, this is perhaps a dimension I can make use of in the future. Great roleplay, and thanks! |
