| Message | We see no reason why this should fall under the jurisdiction of local goverments, it is clearly a universal issue. In our opinion it is also in the best interest of Ikradon to keep gambling illegal. |
| Date | not recorded | From | To | Debating the Local Rights Concerning the Legality of Gambling Act |
| Message | The IRP respectfully disagrees with the DemSoc; while gambling may prove detrimental to any Ikradonian citizen, it should surely be up to local administrators to monitor and 'treat' such a social condition. The IRP would vote in favour of such decisions moving closer to a grass roots level |
