| Message | Are you opposed to driver's licenses? |
| Date | 13:35:19, October 20, 2005 CET | From | Ecotopian Party of Kalistan | To | Debating the National Security Amendment Act |
| Message | The primary purpose of a driver's license is not to centralise government control and bureaucracy over a person; it is to ensure community safety. A national identity card allows a higher level of intrusion by the Government into personal space. |

| Message | They're not carrying them anyway, so what the hell. One less thing the government has to pay for. OOC; Welcome Ecotopian Party! I'm sure the PPP will be happy to have someone along that agrees with him. If you stay this active, then Kalistan may be one of the few, if not the only nation with a full 8 active parties. |

| Message | Hey, I told you it was temporary, though I do admit it was a particularly mean move to totally abandon it. But that stage of my party died with Frank Dealer... depending on how the coin lands, I could either be a simpering yes-man, or an even bigger bastard. Either way, I need a persona for the party, and a change in power will do that. |
