| Message | When making bills like these, make bills that you vote "yes" for, to put your positioning down. It's rediculous to propose a bill that you intend to vote against. |

| Message | NPP, I would, but we already have most of the positions i would vote "yes" for. Can i make a "lets keep things how they are" law? |
| Date | 06:23:04, February 09, 2008 CET | From | Conservative Party | To | Debating the Civil Rights |
| Message | I agree with the PUA. (Sorry NPP). If we already agree with the laws, our visibility starts going down because no one is proposing to change it so that we can vote against. I doubt very much that we all agree on each law so parties should become more active or else we will have these contra-bills. |
