| Message | Mr Speaker, We strongly oppose and criticize this bill. Again, the IODS will have to shoulder more responsibilities to keep Luthori safe. I yield. |

| Message | I think I will resign from the government if article 3 passes! Can't see why we should just flush our money down in the toilet! |

| Message | Mr Speaker, The Falanges has proved not to be worthy a place in this conservative government. All this crap combined that we no longer can fire striking workers is to much to bear. The Falange party has also showed up to be incompetent in the world of compromising and as it is now, a WCP and FP-coalition seems more reasonable. We will therefore refuse to work cooperate with this pseudo-socialist party until it has learned how to compromise and not to making deals with the bolshies. I yield the floor. |

| Message | Sir, As much as we would like to have the EAP in the cabinet as a morally conservative party, however we cannot accept and under any circumstance that his participation in this cabinet pressures us to make concessions: we never said we are ultra capitalists or ultra isolationists...we are social capitalists and we have a new open-foreign relations policy... If the EAP cannot stand these positions of the Falanges, well it's too bad, but please note that we as a party will never accept to be blackmailed by anyone: we cannot accept to pass or vote against bills or else someone will resign from the cabinet... However please note that if the EAP resigns (which they didint do yet, maybe waiting to see if we can be blackmailed) we will be obliged to propose a new cabinet, maybe a coalition between CIL, WCP and us... Up until then we will continue working with the current cabinet headed by the EAP |

| Message | Mr Speaker Haha, let's get the skilled CIL and the damn Bolshies in the same government! I'll rather be outside it than inside it! "Blackmailing"? Politics is about compromising, and it is very bad manners to force through socialistic politics with help from the comunists when in a cabinet with conservatives. I have changed my mind - I think it is the Falanges Party who shall resign, they are the ones who's lost their faces! I yield |

| Message | That's it: masks have fallen...The game of the EAP is clear: threatening of resigning in return of getting the bills they want...and when we refused to deal with their threats, they quickly backed off and changed their mind, maybe due to the hunger of power... and concerning the "Falanges should resign", please note that at any second we can throw you out of the cabinet by proposing any other cabinet with another coalition: we said we are open to a cabinet with the WCP, and always the CIL. of course we know we have many differences with the WCP, however it will be a national coalition, and the debate will move from the Diet to the cabinet.. So please know that if you are being keeped in the cabinet, it is because of the CIL, and because we know that our CIL brothers will feel a bit embarrassed if we proposed a CIL-FP-WCP cabinet, or else you would have been kicked out from this cabinet |
