| Message | We see no reason to leave this matter up to local governments. The UU party fully supports any and all work, even prostitution, if it helps feed and clothe our people. We also find that there is more good socially speaking for prostitution to remain nationally recognize in order to ensure that prostitutes get adequate health care across the nation and that there doesn't become a "sin" city somewhere in Pontesi to where all lecherous persons will flock. We shall oppose this bill. |

| Message | While we understand the objections of the UUP, we believe it should be up to localities whether or not they wish to have active bordellos in their neighborhoods. |
| Date | 20:15:22, November 06, 2007 CET | From | One Nation Conservative Party | To | Debating the Prostitution Devolution Act |
| Message | This is a much needed bill, why should government dictate to the satrapies on issues such as this? |

| Random fact: Did you know you can change the official name of your nation? All you need to do is draw up a new name that is in accordance with the Nation Renaming Guide, pass a bill proposing the name change with a two-thirds majority and then post a request to Moderation on the "Renaming Requests" thread. You can change city and region names in this way too. |
