| Message | "This is unfortunate. We hoped we'd have a strong free market backing for our proposal to reinvigorate Hutori's economy, one that might even win over some parties to Macon nationalism once they had seen its sensible side." -Cecilia Roberts MNP, Chair |
| Date | 17:58:44, May 22, 2007 CET | From | Christian Democratic Alternative | To | Debating the Macon Development Act |
| Message | The CDA doesn't see what your proposed motto has to do with a free market economy. The motto is reason for us to vote against. |
| Date | 19:13:32, May 22, 2007 CET | From | Conservative-Libertarian Party (UM) | To | Debating the Macon Development Act |
| Message | It is obvious what you are trying to do here. You wish to put forward a lot of free market proposals with a unionist motto practically hidden in here, to encourage parties such as ours to vote it through. That is disgusting, and bad politics of the worst kind. |
| Date | 20:47:24, May 22, 2007 CET | From | Macon Nationalist Party | To | Debating the Macon Development Act |
| Message | "We thought it would be a good compromise. We still hold some hope that one or two right-wing parties will support and our omnibus compromise will pass. The motto is hardly hidden though. It says right in the description, 'To do so, we must unequivocally declare our support for the Union, but we must also begin the deregulation of unnecessary hurdles.' " -Roberts |
