| Message | Do the LSP introduce this Bill and still expect to be called socialists? Albert Brocklehurst (General Secretary of the Telamonese Communist Party) |
| Date | 02:02:37, September 05, 2008 CET | From | Social Democratic Party | To | Debating the Economic Reform Act |
| Message | Are platforms are well known Mr. Brocklehurst, and Libertarian Socialism is the ideology which we identify most with. We support socialism in areas of health care, education, welfare, and infrastructure. We support free market economy in all other areas, like defense and energy. Keir Hardie Chairman of the LSP |
| Date | 02:13:55, September 05, 2008 CET | From | Telamonese Communist Party | To | Debating the Economic Reform Act |
| Message | This legislation will allow employers to force workers to work under grossly unfair conditions in all the areas of our economic life that Mr Hardie mentions |
| Date | 03:57:39, September 05, 2008 CET | From | Social Democratic Party | To | Debating the Economic Reform Act |
| Message | Employers in Telamon cannot force anyone to work. We have welfare programs set up so that individuals that are fired or quit employment have enough assistance from the government so they will not stray into poverty. The government doesn't need to regulate the amount of hours someone can work in a day, I believe the people and the employers can manage that. Keir Hardie Chairman of the LSP |
| Date | 04:42:15, September 05, 2008 CET | From | Democratic Capitalist Delegation | To | Debating the Economic Reform Act |
| Message | We dislike article II but feel we must support this legislation due to the inclusion of article I. Daunte Woodson Chairman Democratic Capitalist Delegation |

| Random fact: When it comes to creating a Cultural Protocol in a Culturally Open nation, players are not necessarily required to provide a plausible backstory for how the nation's cultural background developed. However, the provision of a plausible backstory may be a factor in whether Moderation approves the Cultural Protocol if players in surrounding nations question its appropriateness for their region of the game map. |
