| Date | 19:19:50, November 21, 2005 CET | From |  Protectorate Party | To | Debating the S.A.N.T.A. |
| Message | On the first there will be those who are unable to find work due to commitments to family, or disability or dips in the job market. We should help them in their time of need, not cast them aside. On the second, might not be needed if we have first but would rather have them working then refusing a job due to the low wage and thus staying on the dole. As for the third, we feel it is insane to provide pay for operations, yet deny the abilty to treat ailments with medicine. |
