| Message | Article 1 is absolute nonsense - the local government is responsible for government works in Aloria, so it is the one that must be in charge of eminent domain. Article 2 is plain and simple theft from the Alorian citizen. |
| Date | 05:40:19, July 30, 2009 CET | From | Alorian Confederation of Labor | To | Debating the Compulsory Acquisition bill |
| Message | Article 2 is a clear violation of the people of Aloria's personal rights. The ACoL is staunchly opposed to this bill |

| Random fact: The people in your nation don't like inactive parties. When you often abstain from voting for a bill, they will dislike your party and your visibility to the electorate will decrease significantly. Low visibility will means you are likely to lose seats. So keep in mind: voting Yes or No is always better than Abstaining. |
