| Message | "It's quite hilarious that the bill that also proposed Secondary strike action to be illegal and to forbid Child Labour should be considered as a "Socialism" by the narrow-minded Alliance of Pontesian Majatrans." "This bill defines and create an action that the goverment must do to ensure a working economy in Pontesi. To ensure that no foreign nation attempt to destroy our business by making a takeover, to ensure our nation banking system, and to forbid a child labour." Anjou Poesy MP |
