| Message | We shall withhold statement until we see other parties' views. We don't agree with the devolution of powers to regions, BUT if most other parties agree with this, we don't want to bring the bill down. |
| Date | 05:25:34, September 29, 2005 CET | From | Freedom Party | To | Debating the Confederacy Creation Act |
| Message | This bill, in and of itself, will not devolve powers to the regions. The purpose of this bill is to merely bring the titles of the offices and the nation into agreement with the state of affairs in Aloria, and what we predict will the be state of affairs for a while. |
| Date | 05:50:45, September 29, 2005 CET | From | Aloria United | To | Debating the Confederacy Creation Act |
| Message | Yes, that's what we thought, and this is why if most people are for this, we don't actually want the bill to fail. But an affirmative for this bill does give support for devolution as the status quo, and that we are opposed to. |
