| Date | 03:25:24, May 26, 2010 CET | From |  Utilitarian Party of Solentia | To | Debating the MS 12-2943-1 On Industrial Byproduct Self-Regulation |
| Message | The Utilitarian Party of Solentia cannot support this bill. We are for free-market, and we have championed the cause; however, we cannot agree on article 3. We would support minor and not so dramatic versions of articles 1 and 2. Since we consider not enough time was given for debate, these middle grounds could not be found, and we cannot agree on the bill nor abstain, since article 3 under no circumstances can we accept it. |

| Random fact: In order for a Cabinet bill to pass, more than half of the legislature must vote for it and all of the parties included in the proposed Cabinet must support it. If your nation has a Head of State who is also the Head of Government, then the party controlling this character must also vote for the bill, since the Head of Government is also a member of the Cabinet. If any of these requirements are not met, the bill will not pass. |
