| Message | We are in favor of Article 2, privatizing space exploration. It makes little sense when in deficit to spend government funds for the expensive thing that is space exploration. We can't quite support Article 1, although we could support the less extreme move to allow small amounts of private generation, so that a small group of citizens might form a coop. With respect to Article 3, we're in a strange position, as we don't feel that sports clubs should be federally run at all but rather devoluted to local governments. On balance, if you changed Article 1 to allow only small scale private electrical generation, our party would support your bill. |

| Message | We can only agree somewhat to the sports club. We would vote no in the current state. |

| Date | 14:16:42, June 16, 2011 CET | From | Union Socialism Alliance | To | Debating the Freedom Liberalization Act of February 3136 |
| Message | We do support articles 1 and 3, and would give the benefit of the doubt on article 2. With the government controlling the permits and all. We applaud BF for their strive and willingness to reach a compromise. |
