| Message | No, we oppose this and with good reason, people recieve compensation for land lost so while moving may be a bit of a hassle they wont actually lose anything. However if we cannot gain control of land, how are we going to be able to build new roads, powerplants, factories, parks. We cannot manage our country if we allow landholders to be immobile. This will also directly benifit the rich land owners of society, by making them "untouchables", the poor need housing and the country needs infrastucture, this will hold back devolopment! |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, Private property is not the ownership of the state. I believe the government is here to serve the people, not to control them. It horrifies me that a fellow socialist party can stand here before the house and oppose this legislation. This legislation seeks to establish government regulations to say that the government has no right to sieze people's homes and livlihoods.Aloria has enough space to build on without the government's tyrannous ability to destroy people's lives. |

| Message | Comrade I stand by the fact that peoples lives are not destroyed, they are adequately compensated by this goverment should their land be required for special goverment projects like infrastructure. One cannot put the individual above the needs of the many, this could hold back the development of Aloria! |

| 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. |
