| Message | We do not believe in mandatory trade union membership - trade unions are often far too demanding, and therefore, they are damaging to businesses and distort the economy. Workers should not be pressured into joining these unions if they do not agree with what the unions are advocating, and if they believe that they can better negotiate the terms of their employment on a personal level with their employer. Mandatory union membership may be disasterous for our economy. |

| Message | We did not expect this pass. We would just like to reach out to the more radical, authoritarian right wing population. |
| Date | 09:16:03, June 26, 2008 CET | From | Sons of Liberty | To | Debating the Verticle Trade Union |
| Message | A strange sentiment considering the right wing is so against trade unions. |
| Date | 15:57:55, June 26, 2008 CET | From | Dranland First Party (CC) | To | Debating the Verticle Trade Union |
| Message | We agree with the Libertarian Party - we have fully supported many of the proposals made by the Spenocratic Party, who we believe to be a good conservative party. But this legislation seems out of character for a party that is usually conservative and positioned on the right - it seems left-wing, certainly, perhaps even flirting with the elements of the far-left. Compulsory unionism is usually preached by socialist groups and so forth As a firmly right-wing party, we oppose trade unions to a great extent. But if they are to exist, we certainly believe that their membership should be voluntary. |

| Message | We understand that the common right wing (refering to the capitalist kind) is relatively against this stuff. And techinically, so are we. We just want to reach out to the Nation Syndicalists (another right wing idea) of Dranland. |
