| Message | This borders on the other extremity: communisme. NO udéliste shall ever support. It is an infringement on the right to free private ventures of the individual and an unnecessary enforcement by the government to control in private matters, no different from the social crimes against the individual that the Aristocrates, Fenaristes (phonetic pronounciation of FNR in French) et Pépénistes (PPN) are doing. |
| Date | 06:09:36, July 04, 2007 CET | From |  Parti Union Nationale | To | Debating the EASL: Ordre du Jour Public 2424 |
| Message | We agree with the UDL, if this bill passes it will transform Rildanor into a Communist Country. Though the PPN agrees with some social programs like child benefits but we can't agree with the other proposals. |

| Message | "Non, non, absolument pas is the rallying cry of leftists in Rildanor. A curious endorsement of leftist politics by the PPN, perhaps?" -Adrien Durand MNA, Provincial-West, Morbanack EASL Leader |

| Message | "We congradulate EASL on actually making a bill bad enough to unite both the Right and Left of Rildanor in opposition to it. That must be a remarkable (un)achievement." -Jean-Frederic Rouvier FNR Chairman |

| Random fact: Party candidates for head of state elections are not visible to the public. This means that you cannot see who will run and who will not, which adds another strategic element to the elections. |
