| Message | A compromise between the two forms of media. |

| Message | How is this a compromise? A compromise between the two forms of media, using the complete privatisation of one, would mean the complete nationalisation of the other. As is, private companies would own all of one area and still be able to compete in another. The current law is the best compromise as it allows for both private and publically operated stations to operate side-by-side, what better compromise can there be? |

| Message | I believe the "compromise" is that they aren't trying to do anything about radio. |
| Date | 09:36:31, November 19, 2005 CET | From | Liberal-Progressive Union | To | Debating the Private Television Act. |
| Message | The "compromise" passed! Despite the patronizing words of the opposition who hold the parties who "think" and have different "opinions" other than their own in such low esteem. |

| 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. |
