| Message | The DLU stands vehemently against this proposal and surprised at the JCP’s stance against the environment. Transport and energy production are the worlds largest benefactors of CO2 emissions, both of which require the government to take decisive action. |
| Date | 01:08:54, October 20, 2005 CET | From | Jakanian Liberal Socialists | To | Debating the Freedom to Drive Act |
| Message | People do not have a right to destroy something they have no ownership of. Allowing people to pollute the environment, whether that of their neighbours or their future children, is unacceptable. To allow otherwise is nothing but an attempt to make a cheap profit at the expense of others. |

| Random fact: In order for a Cabinet bill to pass, more than half of the legislature must vote for it and all of the parties included in the proposed Cabinet must support it. If your nation has a Head of State who is also the Head of Government, then the party controlling this character must also vote for the bill, since the Head of Government is also a member of the Cabinet. If any of these requirements are not met, the bill will not pass. |
