| Message | Telamon must have one leading institution that it controls, others can be private. So we don't agree to the articles 1-3 but, you can put the article 4 to vote and you can expect our vote. - Vojislav Krkljus, RRP |

| Message | Would the RRP be willing to support this bill if we removed Article 2? - Kristian Donson - Leader of the Radical Party |

| Message | But you must also remove article 3. - Vojislav Krkljus, Chairman of the RRP |

| Message | The Conservative Adeptus Mechanicus does not agree to any of these articles. Article 1 already has a private component. It is important for a Federal, government owned, bank to exist as a backup in case the local private banks fail. We agree that private banking is important and as such we strongly feel that he current system of a government owned bank plus private banks works quite well. Additionally, Article 2 would drastically reduce the efficiency of Telamon's defensive capabilities. Government owned defense agencies ensures equal treatment across the board for all defense projects. This uniform standard keeps the outcome at a high level of quality and it also allows the government to maintain utmost secrecy on projects of national security. We have fought hard to create universal health care for Telamon. Much credit must go to the RRP for their sponsorship of the bill that led to the implementation of universal health care. Our hats go off to them and it is a disservice to Telamon to remove universal health care. Lastly, Article 4 is the only one that we would even remotely consider supporting. We believe it is important for all residents to be able to contact emergency services at no charge. Article 4 is situated in such a way that the only free telephone service is to reach emergency personnel. If people wish to contact anyone else they must pay for that service. Perhaps better clarification of this is needed in a separate bill. -Roger Evars, Deputy Party Leader CAM |

| Message | Articles 2 and 3 have been removed, but I remain adamant over Articles 1 and 4. Will this bill gain the support of the RRP and Republican Party? - Kristian Donson - Leader of the Radical Party |

| Message | We still cannot support Article 1 of this legislation as it now stands. -Roger Evars, Deputy Party Leader CAM |

| Message | It appears that the Conservative Ordo Malleus is not walking "in footstep" with the Republican Party over key legislation. - Kristian Donson - Leader of the Radical Party |
