| Message | The Unioists wish to 'ban private clinics' despite previously claiming we should have a system of choice and allow private and public to co-exist. Another u-turn for the ever changing party of both name and ideology. Joy Beckett Shadow Health Secretary |
| Date | 01:07:41, August 31, 2010 CET | From | Coalition for National Unity [CNU] | To | Debating the National Healthcare Act of 2991 |
| Message | "The Party of mandatory Religion wants to preach choice and u-turns. They are conservative, they are 'modern', they are religious, they are 'freedom', they want liberty, they want 'morality'. The Unionists support Articles 2 and 3 with a passion and see Article 1 as a good price to pay to get it. The Octagenarian doesn't like it? The bitch can rot in hell alongside the children that she kills by opposing these crucial vaccines." Harrison Spicer, Sen. |

| Message | This bill is everything about freedom and individuality. Removing choice for parents over whether to vacinate their OWN CHILDREN whilst the state does it for them, the state paying for EVERY single prescription whatever the huge and overwhelming cost to the taxpayer and banning private sector involvement when they previously support a mix. They are nothing about choice, all about state. May we suggest there next party title for them? The Solentian Super Statist Party. Goes well with their new ideology, communism.

| Random fact: The people in your nation don't like inactive parties. When you often abstain from voting for a bill, they will dislike your party and your visibility to the electorate will decrease significantly. Low visibility will means you are likely to lose seats. So keep in mind: voting Yes or No is always better than Abstaining. |
