| Message | But without the military having certain powers, powers with MUST be regulated to ensure thay are honest, our nation will fall victim to any threats that could be directed our way... How can we justify this? If you prove to me that this will be a good bill, i shall accept, but otherwise, there is just no way that the security of Likatonia can be dissassembled in such a way... |
| Date | 22:15:52, February 10, 2010 CET | From | Throne of Immeressen | To | Debating the Immeressen Decrees: Peace In Our Time (ii) |
| Message | We are confused - the UW seem to have voted in our favour (which we, of course, appreciate) whuilst simultaneously claiming that they wouldn't. Which is the true position of the UW on this issue? The Likatonian voter deserves to know. |
| Date | 10:10:49, February 11, 2010 CET | From | Throne of Immeressen | To | Debating the Immeressen Decrees: Peace In Our Time (ii) |
| Message | We are obviously glad to see the UW help us pass this measure - but we are still a little unsure as to what, exactly, they stand for on this issue. If this was a fortuitous mistake, we offer our thanks to Immeressen for his intervention. If this was flip-flopping, we offer our thanks to the inconstant ministers of the UW party. |
