| Message | That is rather a huge amount. It would certainly decrease the revenue of the government. May I suggest that this adjustment be made by decreasing the budget for: Environment and Tourism (10,850,000,000 MCR) Justice (10,300,000,000 MCR) Food and Agriculture (9,850,000,000 MCR) |
| Date | 05:03:52, July 21, 2008 CET | From | Left Oligarchist Consortium | To | Debating the Budget proposal of March 2609 |
| Message | You will have our unconditional support if some of the money goes to the Social Engineering Department. They will in time usher in a period of unbridled transcendence and power for those in places of authority who sit in dark rooms. |
| Date | 07:33:59, July 21, 2008 CET | From | Gerajan Socialist Party | To | Debating the Budget proposal of March 2609 |
| Message | The One-Voice Party seeks to pollute our environment and allow corporations to do willy-nilly with our food. |
| Date | 14:35:20, July 21, 2008 CET | From | One-Voice Party (IP) | To | Debating the Budget proposal of March 2609 |
| Message | @ GSP: Ah, really? I can put charges on you by that statement. Think before you speak. Polluting the environment does not follow decreasing the budget of the environment projects. Where the heck does your logic come from? At least I have something to suggest, do you??? You are in no position to speak on my behalf. Dimwitted Jerk. |
| Date | 23:12:08, July 21, 2008 CET | From | Gerajan Socialist Party | To | Debating the Budget proposal of March 2609 |
| Message | Less budget means less money for enforcement. The Gerajan Socialist Party simply stated the obvious, no need to insult our esteemed politicians. |
| Date | 13:45:00, July 22, 2008 CET | From | One-Voice Party (IP) | To | Debating the Budget proposal of March 2609 |
| Message | @ GSP: You could just have stated your justification on the issue than ACCUSING OVP of "seeking to polute the environment." It's called BUDGETING. |

| Random fact: Particracy allows you to establish an unelected head of state like a monarch or a president-for-life, but doing this is a bit of a process. First elect a candidate with the name "." to the Head of State position. Then change your law on the "Structure of the executive branch" to "The head of state is hereditary and symbolic; the head of government chairs the cabinet" and change the "formal title of the head of state" to how you want the new head of state's title and name to appear (eg. King Percy XVI). |
