| Date | 00:29:02, June 09, 2008 CET | From |  Progressive Liberal Party of Hulstria | To | Debating the Central Government Empowerment Act |
| Message | This is an act we never can support, the government cannot interfere to much in private life. Every individual is free to life his life as he wants, every corporation free to promote what is wants and sell and no government should spend money providing services that will exist without government intervention. |
| Date | 01:18:05, June 09, 2008 CET | From | Conservative Alliance Party | To | Debating the Central Government Empowerment Act |
| Message | There are just some things the government should keep it's nose out of, placing them in charge of everything won't really work. We're opposed to every article proposed here. |
| Date | 01:21:38, June 09, 2008 CET | From | Wiedervereinigten Nationalisten | To | Debating the Central Government Empowerment Act |
| Message | The HNP is opposed to both unnecessary state intervention in the economy and to disempowerment of local governments. With regard to Article 3, although we are certainly not a party dominated by environmentalist activists, we oppose this blatantly irresponsible position. Forests are very important to Hulstrian culture, history, and identity. Promotion of their removal is a most un-Hulstrian activity. |
