| Message | You evil bourgeois pig dog! Communism has freed the people of Vanuku. The Vanukans are happy and free today and you seek to destroy their freedom and democracy through your cruel reforms! The people will not stand for this, we will revolt I tell you! |
| Date | 01:14:29, December 12, 2009 CET | From | Partij van de Toekomst | To | Debating the Act for the Abolition of Communist Evils |
| Message | The Communistiche Partij is asked to tone down it's language, particularly when directed at the Opperste President of this nation. The fact of the matter is that the people voted for the LDP to have a 2/3 majority of the Assemblage van de Republiek knowing full well what our intentions were. Clearly the people of Vanuku do not all see things the way the Communistiche Partij does. |
