| Message | The OP will consider this bill. Crimes such as those listed are crimes which try to take away the rights of the people. The death penalty may be a little harsh, however. We will consider supporting this bill. Audley Cooper, Orange Party Leader |

| Message | The IP feel that the bill will go along well with the change of government spending and tax adjustment. Less money will now be spent in prisons, and we will be able to transfer the profit into other areas. Additionally since less money are going to the prisons we are able to increase tax on our citizens. Iain Angel Imperium Party Leader |

| Message | We find quite a few flaws in that logic - we assume that prison systems are private in Rutania and that the lowest possible amount goes into prisons. We are also assuming that we have quite a few people on death row for terror, treason and crimes against humanity - which we are sure is not the case. Lastly, we would not need to raise taxes if less money is being spent in one area - it means we can redistribute. |
