| Message | Also, we're trying to make these bills specific so it doesn't disrupt the visibility or coherency of other parties. This bill primarily focuses on civil liberties legislation, but if this bill is too general or non-specific then we will propose more issue-specific bills, but they will probably be larger in number and only have 1 to 2 articles attached to each. |

| Message | It might help the voters to learn what you stand for rather than what you are against, if you actually made proposals you support. |
| Date | 21:51:16, March 29, 2010 CET | From | Social Democrats of Aldegar | To | Debating the Visibility Bill 1 |
| Message | We've already considered that. Looking at the current legislation, we support most of the current stances on issues. This is perhaps the only step necessary to raise our partys visibility higher than it currently is, other than simply wait for a right-wing party to come in and propose them itself. (besides, in the game it calculates the same) |
