| Message | We seriously considered the change in Art. 2 as part of our current group of bills but simply decided to leave it be for now. We do like it. We also like Art. 3. However, we cannot vote for this. The current state of Art. 1 is that way because it was one of our earliest bills (and passed). One of the bills that propelled us, in the following election, from 0 to 119 seats. |

| Message | You clearly have no concern to protect worker's rights. |
| Date | 10:19:00, March 12, 2008 CET | From | Party for a Federal Meritocracy | To | Debating the JCP Strike Reform Act |
| Message | And yet we support 2 of the 3 articles in your bill on worker's rights. If we "clearly have no concern" on such matters; what does this mean about your party? After all, from your viewpoint, nothing we support would be good for the workers. |

| Random fact: In cases where a party has no seat, the default presumption should be that the party is able to contribute to debates in the legislature due to one of its members winning a seat at a by-election. However, players may collectively improvise arrangements of their own to provide a satisfying explanation for how parties with no seats in the legislature can speak and vote there. |
