| Date | 06:21:08, June 23, 2007 CET | From | Secular Party | To | Debating the Economic Manifesto of the Bible and Crown Defenders |
| Message | We like the parts allowing deregulation of the private sector, but we don't like using taxpayer money to set up gated communities, and we also don't like increasing the government's role in healthcare. However, we care more about the deregulation than the increased spending of taxpayer dollars. So, we shall support this bill. |
| Date | 08:32:42, June 23, 2007 CET | From | Christian Royalist Party | To | Debating the Economic Manifesto of the Bible and Crown Defenders |
| Message | We disagree with Article V dealing with the government paying for all prescription drugs as such an action would be very costly and would hurt the private sector's development of new drugs. |
