| Date | 11:19:43, June 15, 2007 CET | From | Conservative-Libertarian Party (UM) | To | Debating the Income tax proposal of August 2413 |
| Message | Tax systems should be as simple as possible, with as fewer bands as possible. Besides, this income tax proposal is seriously damaging to those in our society who are worst off. And taxing the rich and corporations to this extent will simply drive them abroad. |
| Date | 18:46:35, June 16, 2007 CET | From | Christian Democratic Alternative | To | Debating the Income tax proposal of August 2413 |
| Message | A maximum tax of 23% is not particularly high. The CDA will support. |

| 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. |
