| Message | What is facist about that? |
| Date | 17:38:45, November 07, 2010 CET | From | Children of the Wrath | To | Debating the Passport and ID Card Act |
| Message | In regards to foreigners, this law is very discriminating. There is no reason why foreigners should carry their identity papers with them all the times, and no reason why it should contain features such as fingerprints, when the passports we issue to our citizens even don't have a mandatory photo. Even if we recognised that there are some states out there that are likely to produce unwanted foreigners, it would be sufficient to maintain a register for countries, whose residents have to have such passports. But we don't see why other countries should accept the Malivian passports, if they aren't even up to the standards we're setting for their passports. Apart from that, we don't see what's so important about the voluntarily given photo that prevents it from being mandatory. We also don't see why governmental institutions should not be allowed to ask for passports, since they would be a valid tool for determining the citizenship of the concerned citizens, and is not really a useful tool for whatever you suspect the government to do with information. |

| Message | I hope our changes make this law better, and we come to a compromise. |
| Date | 23:53:37, November 10, 2010 CET | From | Children of the Wrath | To | Debating the Passport and ID Card Act |
| Message | We propose the following changes, if they are accepted, we will vote in favour: Foreigners should not need to have their race or their religion registered. The police should only be able to ask for a passport if they have grounded case. If it is forgotten to admitt changed data (this is not the case if wrong data is submitted), there should only be a fine, not a prison sentence, and the fine shouldn't be that high. If the changes haven't been submitted in order to further some criminal activities, the accused should be tried separately for these activities, not that he didn't change the date. |

| Random fact: Cabinet ministers who disagree seriously with the head of government would usually be expected to resign. Parties within the cabinet may attempt to manoeuvre to replace the head of government though, for example by proposing a new cabinet bill or voting for an early election. |
