| Message | All right, I'll play. I'll support 4,5 and 6 if you would be willing to allow for at least limiting abortion to the first trimester. |
| Date | 00:09:39, February 16, 2008 CET | From | Alorian Public Union | To | Debating the The Moderate Compromise Act of 2532 |
| Message | Actually, I'll support 4 and 5 given this condition. Go a step further and limit it to emergencies, and i'll vote for 6 and 7 as well. |
| Date | 01:50:24, February 16, 2008 CET | From | Democratic Rationalists (PrCoa) | To | Debating the The Moderate Compromise Act of 2532 |
| Message | We'd only support number six if there was a proposal for a comulsory public pension system along with it. |
| Date | 01:51:38, February 16, 2008 CET | From | Democratic Rationalists (PrCoa) | To | Debating the The Moderate Compromise Act of 2532 |
| Message | We won't vote yes on any bill which takes power from local governments. Number 7 has to go. |
| Date | 03:46:05, February 16, 2008 CET | From |  Moderate Libertarian Party (NoCoalition) | To | Debating the The Moderate Compromise Act of 2532 |
| Message | We like your initial offer PP, but the indy but no subsidy is already a compromise for us; we'd like all radio stations to be private actually. Same goes for Article 6. If you give us these, we'll back a first-trimester only abortion bill albeit reluctantly. DR: A compulsory pension system traded for a slightly less welfare subsidy (albeit limited time only instead of what we have now) is a start but not good for us. Come up with another trade-off. We'll gladly take 7 out as a compromise for your vote however and leave farm subsidies to local governments. We can swallow that. |
| Date | 04:32:24, February 16, 2008 CET | From | Alorian Public Union | To | Debating the The Moderate Compromise Act of 2532 |
| Message | Well, I'll take you up on your offer, I suppose. But while I can stomach much of whats on the table now, I hope that you can swallow article 8 along with article 7. |
| Date | 04:34:30, February 16, 2008 CET | From | Alorian Public Union | To | Debating the The Moderate Compromise Act of 2532 |
| Message | Also, you can go ahead and make all radio stations private, and thats for free. Its fine by me, but perhaps not with other Alorian Parties. |
| Date | 06:58:19, February 16, 2008 CET | From | Conservative Union | To | Debating the The Moderate Compromise Act of 2532 |
| Message | Article 8 and Article 4, the others I disagree with. |
| Date | 18:48:19, February 16, 2008 CET | From | Moderate Libertarian Party (NoCoalition) | To | Debating the The Moderate Compromise Act of 2532 |
| Message | OK so DR and PP we want to pass this thing so what do you want out altogether? |
| Date | 19:01:00, February 16, 2008 CET | From | Alorian Public Union | To | Debating the The Moderate Compromise Act of 2532 |
| Message | 7, 4, and 1. (the numbers change since last we looked at this.) |
| Date | 19:01:55, February 16, 2008 CET | From | Alorian Public Union | To | Debating the The Moderate Compromise Act of 2532 |
| Message | 8 is negiotable, but it will require morethen just limiting abortion to the 1st trimester |
