| Message | We are, unsurprisingly opposed. We would also like to point out that 7 billion from Foreign Affairs goes to Lourenne for environmental protection as per the following bill; http://80.237.164.51/particracy/main/viewbill.php?billid=143821 |
| Date | 02:50:25, February 14, 2008 CET | From | Normand Pluralist Party | To | Debating the Budget proposal of August 2531 |
| Message | Oh? Good to know that. We'll propose appropriate counter-legislation anon. |
| Date | 06:19:34, February 14, 2008 CET | From | Conservative Party | To | Debating the Budget proposal of August 2531 |
| Message | We would support the counter-legislation bill. However, this budget bill does not include increase of funding for Internal Affairs. With a substantial surplus (and the projected 7 billion reduction in environmental wasteful spending), the NPP has no reason to avoid a resolution approved by the majority of the Folkstämma. |
| Date | 06:40:16, February 14, 2008 CET | From | Conservative Party | To | Debating the Budget proposal of August 2531 |
| Message | The CP recommends re-proposing the Budget of March 2531 without the seat reduction. That would pass. |
| Date | 07:51:17, February 14, 2008 CET | From | Normand Pluralist Party | To | Debating the Budget proposal of August 2531 |
| Message | We have increased the IA by 20% in this bill. We intend to put the other additional funds to good use, once this bill passes. |
| Date | 16:19:19, February 14, 2008 CET | From | Conservative Party | To | Debating the Budget proposal of August 2531 |
| Message | The CP will hold NPP to its promise of increasing funding to Internal Affairs once this bill passes. We support. |
| Date | 23:38:11, February 14, 2008 CET | From | Peasant Party Of Sekowo | To | Debating the Budget proposal of August 2531 |
| Message | We will support only if Health Services are not cut and Argiculture gets a boost. |
| Date | 01:16:17, February 15, 2008 CET | From | Revolutionary State Socialist Party | To | Debating the Budget proposal of August 2531 |
| Message | Percetnages sound so nice when you don't want to mention the low numbers eh :p |
| Date | 10:22:38, February 15, 2008 CET | From | Free Democratic Party | To | Debating the Budget proposal of August 2531 |
| Message | We support, and will support the repeal of the wasted money to Lourenne that should be staying with the people of Sekowo |

| Random fact: Particracy allows you to establish an unelected head of state like a monarch or a president-for-life, but doing this is a bit of a process. First elect a candidate with the name "." to the Head of State position. Then change your law on the "Structure of the executive branch" to "The head of state is hereditary and symbolic; the head of government chairs the cabinet" and change the "formal title of the head of state" to how you want the new head of state's title and name to appear (eg. King Percy XVI). |
