| Message | We need to crack down on trade unions gaining power and holding Hutori effectively to ransom in some cases. We also have an idea on giving out identity cards on a voluntary basis. It won't be compulsary but will add an extra sense of security to consenting people. |
| Date | 15:17:18, March 22, 2007 CET | From | Conservative-Libertarian Party (UM) | To | Debating the A new CUP bill on Internal Affairs. |
| Message | No chance. You cannot make trade unions illegal. Such an action is preposterous. Trade Unions should be allowed, but there actions should be limited. You cannot stop people from uniting together in a 'club', but you can stop them from holding the country to ransom. Plus, ID cards are a terrible idea and one of the most oppressive ideas of modern times. |

| Message | That is why they are issued on a voluntary basis. No one needs to carry one at all. |
