| Message | A nice proposal, if it were not the case that _there is no money for things such as this_. As stated by several parties in the last months, the Cildanian Federal Government is struggling to pay its immense debt due to years of deficit. Just recently we've hit budgetary equilibrium (and a bit of surplus), and we even enacted a law forbidding hasty governments to plunge us into deficit once again.. Thus, even though we support the development of new technology, we must vote in the negative. PS: _but_, since you've been criticizing us so much, we'll side with you for once, just for laughs. |

| Message | Well, last time one of the PLP Senators made a critic towards the NSLP we received some serious accusations about our supposed worship of historical dictatorships, so we wonder who does not accept critics here. And, sadly for you and your "give me more space" theory, we voted aye ;-) |
