| Message | Oh, so many decisions. We don't like the missionary clause... but we think the Child Benefit clause reverses one of the most insane laws ever to pass. We don't like the subversive materials clause... but we quite like the arms clause. We aren't too worried about the defence industries (since defence industries are evil anyway, no matter who runs them) but we love the national animal clause. On balance - at this point - we support. We reserve the right to vote against any, or all, articles at a later date. |

| Message | TDP, how was the Child Tax Credit an "insane" law when it encourage the people of Likatonia to have a GREATER population??? |

| Message | It was already pointed out that the Child Tax Credit fiasco did nothing more than encourage the POOR to have children. It was something of a disincentive to those with good incomes. Also... since when has a greater population automatically equated to 'a good thing'? |
| Date | 13:47:01, December 07, 2007 CET | From | Axis Mundi Democratic Bloc | To | Debating the National Reform Act of 2497 |
| Message | If it were not for the banning of foreign missionaries, we would support this bill. As it is, we must oppose. |
| Date | 16:03:37, December 07, 2007 CET | From | AM Radical Libertarian Party | To | Debating the National Reform Act of 2497 |
| Message | We see nothing in this bill to support. |
| Date | 18:48:15, December 07, 2007 CET | From | Axis Mundi Democratic Bloc | To | Debating the National Reform Act of 2497 |
| Message | Whilst we still oppose the expulsion of foreign missionaries, we have decided after much deliberation to support this bill. However, we will continue to push for the reinstatment of the rights of visitation of foreign missionaries. |
