| Message | As I have shown multiple times through statistical analysis, the degree of increase of democratic representation which this would create is statistically insignificant (amounting to something around 1/16 of 1%, if I recall), whereas it would increase the cost of managing the Folkstmma by nearly 20%. This increase in cost is hardly justified given the circumstances and benefit. |

| Message | Cost means nothing, and democracy transcends statistical analysis. |
| Date | 02:05:50, July 14, 2008 CET | From | Normand Pluralist Party | To | Debating the Gov.0011.2605 |
| Message | That would explain many of your positions and the quality of your accountants. However, democracy is nothing but statistics. To neglect statistical analysis is to ignore the fundamental purpose and methodology of democracy. |
| Date | 02:30:58, July 15, 2008 CET | From | Anti-Federalists of Free Sekowo | To | Debating the Gov.0011.2605 |
| Message | Again, our responsibility in government is to use, not waste, the taxpayers' money. The government doesn't have any resources itself. We need to respect the taxpayers! |

| Message | The government is comprised of the people therefore (part) of the resources of the people are the governments resources. |
