| Message | We oppose. I not only speak for myself, I speak for my party. We will maintain and upkeep Solentia's Unions' strength. The Federal Independent Party has represented Unions and Labor groups since 2393 in its beginning as the Xzarin Catholic Party and will continue to do so. As Solentia's premier labor party, we will oppose this legislation and represent those who gave us power to prevent bills like this from passing. FIP Majority Leader Peter Quincy |

| Random quote: On 7th February 4281 a group of renowned Metzist experts from all across Terra met in Haldor to form the International Committee for the Estimation of the End Date of Capitalism (ICEEDC). With the assistance of a powerful computer, they calculated that capitalism will terminate Terra-wide on 6th November 4320, and in Dorvik on April 17th 4310. We have no reason whatsoever to believe these very eminent and learned scholars are wrong. They have never been wrong about anything before. ~ Friedrich Pfeiffer, General Secretary of the Dorvish Communist Party |
