| Message | "Despite strong reservation on Article 2, Green Solentia supports the notion of intraindustrial networking." |
| Date | 22:03:24, February 23, 2011 CET | From | Labour Party | To | Debating the Business Defence Act of 3080 |
| Message | We fail to see how forbidding Democratic Workers' Councils from running a workplace is an example of "free" market economic policy. The current government policy of not condoning nor forbidding them is acceptable. Article 2 is fine with us, but not Article 1. Senator Brandon Helmkamp SDP Vice Chancellor |

| 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. |
