Message | This is not an economical reform, this is anarchy legalized. We will never support those abominations that are Artt. 4, 9, and 11. |
Date | 00:09:12, May 11, 2011 CET | From | Liberal Movement for Revolution | To | Debating the Economical Reform - Take Two |
Message | Artt. 11 (currently 7) is fine as it stands, but rest of the articles are reformed. |
Date | 00:16:15, May 11, 2011 CET | From | Avanti Istalia! | To | Debating the Economical Reform - Take Two |
Message | We will swallow it as it stands, for the sake of our nation's prosperity. |
Date | 00:23:03, May 11, 2011 CET | From | Quanzar Nationalist Party | To | Debating the Economical Reform - Take Two |
Message | We agree with the majority of this proposal. However we cannot agree with Article 9 & 10. Should these be removed from the proposal we would agree. |
Date | 11:25:10, May 11, 2011 CET | From | Liberal Movement for Revolution | To | Debating the Economical Reform - Take Two |
Message | QNP was supportive of Art. 9 in the previous bill, why opposing it now? And we'd like to learn what is wrong with Art. 10. Our government will still allow poor children to go to pre-school, only we won't pay for rich families now. |
Date | 18:08:15, May 11, 2011 CET | From | Quanzar Nationalist Party | To | Debating the Economical Reform - Take Two |
Message | Apologies we meant Art. 8 & 10. By accepting Art. 8 we would drive up the expense of medical treatments. This would put massive strain on low income families seeking treatment. Despite the cost we should not cut back on healthcare when it is needed. Even at a subsidised level. Art. 9 we remain supportive of. We believe Art. 10 is essentially an attempt at segregation. We do not understand why middle/higher income families should pay for their children to attend pre-school education. Education should be free for all and encouraged. We thought the Liberal Movement would support this view. |
Date | 19:01:46, May 11, 2011 CET | From | Liberal Movement for Revolution | To | Debating the Economical Reform - Take Two |
Message | If it is the wish of the Nationalist Party, we will remove those two articles from the existing bill and discuss them in their specific bills. |
Date | 20:38:39, May 11, 2011 CET | From | Quanzar Nationalist Party | To | Debating the Economical Reform - Take Two |
Message | We are happy with this proposal and will fully support these changes. Our thanks are extended to the Liberal Movement for Revolution. |
