| Message | We remain committed pacifists to the extent that it is possible and prudent to be such, and we loudly argued for steep cuts in the absurd defense budget that existed under the last leftist government to ravage Ikradon, but we feel that the defense budget is now at an appropriate level. Cutting it in half would be quite unwise at this point in time. |
| Date | 14:47:28, May 25, 2010 CET | From | Art & Labour | To | Debating the Budget proposal of May 2943 |
| Message | We support this proposal, given that it re-evaluates the priorities of the government. Instruments of war should not be a priority in an era of peace. Health, welfare, education and agriculture should all be prioritised. If we can afford to increase investment while still living within our means then it is certainly worth doing. |
