| Date | 02:29:53, June 12, 2008 CET | From | The Liberal Party | To | Debating the deregulations |
| Message | You clearly don't know the difference between communism and regulations. Don't confuse them. Hey, but majority wins. |
| Date | 02:42:54, June 12, 2008 CET | From | Lodamun Libertarian Party | To | Debating the deregulations |
| Message | I am saying that capitalism and communism are the two opposite sides of the economic politics, I dident mention regulations, but hey who actually reads what I write. Regulations are in the middle between those two. Like you LP are a economic centrist, not a capitalist or communist. And majority do wins, but majoirty also have to take the responsibility for the law and are the ones to be held responsible for it by the voters, so hey minority aint all that bad when you are profiling yourself to the voters |
| Date | 02:55:14, June 12, 2008 CET | From | The Liberal Party | To | Debating the deregulations |
| Message | But if the voters keep voting for those in the majority that usually means they like the job being done. I am not saying minorities don't matter, they, sometimes, raise good ideas. |
| Date | 00:33:56, June 13, 2008 CET | From | Lodamun Libertarian Party | To | Debating the deregulations |
| Message | Well since your peak 13 years ago you have lost alot of voters, so maybe they are not all that crazy about your changes |
| Date | 00:51:37, June 13, 2008 CET | From | The Liberal Party | To | Debating the deregulations |
| Message | But I am still in power, Am I not? I haven't lost any influence whatsoever. The only reason I may have lost some seats is because there are several liberal parties. As you can see, you are the only conservative and you only obtain 40 seats while the liberal coalition obtains 110 seats. Kind of a bid discrepancy, don't you think? |
