| Message | We are unsure about this proposal. Nationalizing the agricultural industry would effectively take away the livelihoods of the Republic's rural farmers. |

| Message | While we understand what the UC says due to prior experiences they have had or eye-witnessed, we wish to nationalize in a better way that is more efficient and beneficial to all parties. Essentially, the farmers will now be government employees giving them all government benefits as well as a wage that is higher than the minimum and one that is guaranteed that doesn't correlate to how well the crops grow/sell. |

| Message | Your argument has allowed us to see the proposal in a very different light. We can vote in favor of it, though also believe that utilizing a system in which strategic crops are produced on State owned farms and all other produce is left to the Private sector could work. |

| Message | We appreciate the UC's support and will proceed to a vote while our party members debate over the second proposal of the UC. |
| Date | 19:48:16, October 18, 2005 CET | From | National Socialists | To | Debating the SolentiFarms Act |
| Message | We would have debated before it was taken to a vote, we feel UC's second proposal is the best compromize since we don't agree with this marxist act. Our farmers are precious and should be given a choice. |
