| Message | This would tie up the police in the event of a serious emergency if the beaurocrats in charge do not declare a state of emergency fast enough. We saw from the previous Gishotoi riots that they can be dangerous buggers. |

| Message | Well, as long as the Gishotoi are a serious threat, I suppose, there'll be a state of emergency, won't it? |

| Message | With the recent threats to our security from both the Mormons and Gishotoi, would it be wise to tie the hands of our police forces at the present time? |
| Date | 21:38:07, June 15, 2007 CET | From | Ehre und Treue | To | Debating the On the Right to assemble Bill 2413 |
| Message | No, we'd just give the supreme power to the Minister of Internal Affairs, who should be in charge of the police forces anyway. |

| Random fact: The people in your nation don't like inactive parties. When you often abstain from voting for a bill, they will dislike your party and your visibility to the electorate will decrease significantly. Low visibility will means you are likely to lose seats. So keep in mind: voting Yes or No is always better than Abstaining. |
