| Message | The MLP like this bill except for Article 1. National security needs to be funded and set by the national government. We are not a confederacy. We fight together or hang separately. Too bad it wasn't removed. We would've voted for everything else. |
| Date | 08:28:10, May 26, 2007 CET | From | Party Royale | To | Debating the Local Governance Act 2410 |
| Message | No, no, and no. Letting local governments sell unsafe food? Letting irresponsible doctors mistreat their patients? This trend towards devolution has gone too far and must be stopped. |

| Message | Or, it could be letting the opposite happen Party Royale. It's the local government's decision. MLP is right, we need to have national security be national security. |

| Message | PR: let's hand our power over to Dorvik because we can't possibly be trusted to not enslave everyone and kill newborn children. Don't make us laugh. |
