From	People's Progressive Party
To	Debating the A Motto for Gaduridos
Message	If the word progress which is after all used in other ways then describing parties makes the motto we proposed our motto, then adding sausage makes it obvious its the motto of the ISP. The fact is this nation is not untied, free, and striving to make progress just to be able to produce sausages. It undermines the diversity and individualism of our people.

Message	How about this as a compromise then: "Unity, Freedom, Prosperity!" Hence no words that are related to the names of any current political parties.

From	Benevolent Totalitarian Party - FLF
To	Debating the A Motto for Gaduridos
Message	We dislike the word "freedom". Far too many political leaders these days are babbling on about freedom this and freedom that.

To	Debating the A Motto for Gaduridos
Message	Yes, but doesnt freedom accurately describe what the citizens of our Free Republic have? After all they can choose their government.

To	Debating the A Motto for Gaduridos
Message	I don't mind "Unity, Loyalty, Prosperity!" So long as we have a motto LOL...ANY Motto! It can always be changed later.

Message	Independence, Equality, and Progress.

Date	15:01:43, May 02, 2005 CET
From	Benevolent Totalitarian Party - FLF
To	Debating the A Motto for Gaduridos
Message	I'll just put "Unity, Loyalty, Prosperity!" to the vote for now, because, as the NDP pointed out, it's certainly better than no motto at all.

Date	01:16:23, May 03, 2005 CET
From	Democratic Centre Party of Gaduridos
To	Debating the A Motto for Gaduridos
Message	Not sure we like the "Loyalty" in there. The DCP doesn't want to look down on patriotism, but doesn't this sponsor a "My Country right or wrong?" mindset? We'll be opposing the motto in its current form, there's plenty of time to make up a new one later.

Random fact: Cabinet ministers who disagree seriously with the head of government would usually be expected to resign. Parties within the cabinet may attempt to manoeuvre to replace the head of government though, for example by proposing a new cabinet bill or voting for an early election.
