| Message | This is not some form of Socialist-loving, dictatorship where the government owns all industry. I remind the workers Party that this is verging on a policy that would give the government too much power. Sir Thomas Hill, Conservative Party Leader. |

| Message | We would like to remind Sir Thomas Hill, (New) Conservative Party Leader, of two things. First, banks are no "industry". Second, this is the Senate of the Republic of Solentia, not the playground of an elementary school. The Workers Party is a socialist party, and there is nothing that Sir Thomas Hill and his New Conservative Party can do, except go whining into the pages of the Daily Chronicle.

| Message | "First, banks are no "industry"." Banks are not fully governmentally controlled, they have an industrial circle in their own right as they can be, and should be, dominated by the Private sector. "Second, this is the Senate of the Republic of Solentia, not the playground of an elementary school." I say the same to you sir. "The Workers Party is a socialist party, and there is nothing that Sir Thomas Hill and his New Conservative Party can do, except go whining into the pages of the Daily Chronicle." The Worker's party can be whatever they please, it doesnt make Solentia share the same views or warped ideals. |

| Message | That's the reason why we have a Senate, Sir Thomas Hill - to decide what Solentia will be. We are proposing that the banks be nationalised; we understand that the NCPS is against that. So we understand that the NCPS is going to vote "no", as is their right as a party and their duty to those who elected you. Please understand that is not only our right as a party, but also our duty towards those who elected us, to propose this bill and to vote "yes". Elizabeth Barret Browning Quesada - Workers Party Senate Leader |
