| Message | We'd prefer not to see article 1 pass, but we're so happy about article 3, we'll let it slide. |
| Date | 02:36:28, October 06, 2007 CET | From | Rutanian Conservative Party | To | Debating the Economics Bill Mk. I |
| Message | We oppose article 2 |
| Date | 10:34:50, October 06, 2007 CET | From | Conservative Party | To | Debating the Economics Bill Mk. I |
| Message | The Conservative party opposes all three articles. We do not agree with the idea of free and full advertising, nor do we believe that prostitution is a profession that we should legalize and make common. Number 2 we are not so against, but in light of the other two we will have to say no to this bill. |

| Random fact: By default the head of government is the ultimate authority within a national government. In general terms, heads of government are expected to consult with cabinet colleagues (including those from other parties) before making significant decisions but they remain responsible for government action. |
