| Message | With this bill, we redirect spending from the legislature and give it to Food and Agriculture, ensuring that Sekowans (and not their government) will be better fed. We increase Internal Affairs spending by nearly 70%, a massive spending increase, and we do it all while staying under budget. |
| Date | 00:47:32, February 17, 2008 CET | From | Conservative Party | To | Debating the Budget proposal of January 2533 |
| Message | What about the decrease in money sent to Lourenne? |
| Date | 01:06:02, February 17, 2008 CET | From | Conservative Party | To | Debating the Budget proposal of January 2533 |
| Message | What I meant was it should be 15 - 7 = 8, not 9. |
| Date | 12:16:55, February 17, 2008 CET | From | Normand Pluralist Party | To | Debating the Budget proposal of January 2533 |
| Message | We already partially decreased that money in our last budget proposal. |
| Date | 12:17:26, February 17, 2008 CET | From | Normand Pluralist Party | To | Debating the Budget proposal of January 2533 |
| Message | Oh, I see. You're right. Well, we can redistribute it elsewhere for now, and I can always propose another budget. |
| Date | 15:27:28, February 17, 2008 CET | From | 帝国公明党 (Teikoku Kōmeitō) | To | Debating the Budget proposal of January 2533 |
| Message | We are vehemently against. We would probably vote for it if the undemocratic lowering of seats was removed. |
| Date | 00:11:10, February 18, 2008 CET | From | Conservative Party | To | Debating the Budget proposal of January 2533 |
| Message | We will support. |

| Random fact: "OOC", "IC" and "IG" are commonly-used acronyms in Particracy. "OOC" refers to comments, discussions and actions which are out-of-character, meaning they are done player-to-player rather than party-to-party. "IC" refers to in-character interactions (ie. party-to-party). Similarly, "IG" means in-game, although this term may also simply refer to what happens in the actual game interface, as opposed to on the forum or elsewhere. "RP" just means "role-play". |
