| Message | Your lobbying is showing. |
| Date | 10:00:05, September 16, 2008 CET | From | Dranland First Party (CC) | To | Debating the Farm Size Act |
| Message | This is an issue we are very conflicted over. Whilst we almost always support local government authority, we also feel very strongly about the noble farmers of this country and their rights. We will vote in favor for now, however. |

| Message | We were also very conflictied about this, and stayed away from proposing for that reason, as we would never want a farmer to have his land taken from him. They are the true countrymen of this nation, and are what makes it run. However, allowing for huge corporations to own any size of farmland could be dangerous to the true farmers of this nation. And we have to trust our local governments, that they will not commit tyranny against our farmers. |

| Message | The reason we proposed this, is not to restrict dranian farmers. We have no problem with our true farmers owning any size of farmland. We just don't want large corporations to takeover. So the only way we can see to do this is to allow local governmets to decide this. If a corporation starts taking over huge pieces of farmland, and becomes unbelievably big, bigger than any actual farmers, a stop should be made to the corporation. |

| Message | So capitalism is sacrosant except for farmers, who are merited the state's axe to destroy another's hard-earned property? Ridiculous. |
