| Date | 02:44:36, May 08, 2007 CET | From | Industrialist Party of Aloria | To | Debating the For the Formation of a Marxist State |
| Message | We stand outright opposed to EVERYTHING in this bill. You ask for no child labor when they are clearly more regulated so as to keep them from working AS HARD as adults. Private education is a perfectly fine form of business. Supreme Governor is a great title rooted in history, in no way shall we imposed on that symbol of Alorian democracy. The military is more well equipped to handle foriegn threats than domestic, our police force does fine with military help in EXTREME situations. |

| Message | We are in support of most of the bill, but must regretfully vote no because of Article 6, which could be the first step toward a military coup. |

| Random fact: Cabinet ministers who disagree seriously with the head of government would usually be expected to resign. Parties within the cabinet may attempt to manoeuvre to replace the head of government though, for example by proposing a new cabinet bill or voting for an early election. |
