| Message | The issue of eminent domain is at the heart of this issue, but the other articles of this bill we are willing to compensate on. Of course, we would like all parties to have their say, and we're willing to compromise. |
| Date | 13:29:43, October 23, 2011 CET | From | Demokratychna Delic Partija | To | Debating the Infrastructure Bill of 3201 |
| Message | Eminent domain is to serious an issue to be decided upon locally, that allows to much room for corruption. Article 2 however we can accept for it would ensure greater fairness. The last two articles are completely unacceptable we will oppose this effort to nationalize companies and increase regulation. |
| Date | 14:22:06, October 23, 2011 CET | From | Animal Rights Party | To | Debating the Infrastructure Bill of 3201 |
| Message | We agree that the last two articles can be changed. However, we believe that eminent domain should be decided on a lesser scale. Government interference into the private sector bodes problems. |
| Date | 05:06:42, October 24, 2011 CET | From | Syzygy Party | To | Debating the Infrastructure Bill of 3201 |
| Message | We agree with the Whigs stance on this bill. The first resolution is indeed too serious a manner, the second resolution does indeed attempt to prevent bias and the third is fine as is. We find no real reason to regulate private post. In fact that's one of the few areas we would rather not see regulated. Seeing as how private posts will indeed have to keep their rates down and delivery times up to compete with the government post, that in itself regulates those businesses. For that reason we disagree with Article 3. |
| Date | 05:12:32, October 24, 2011 CET | From | Animal Rights Party | To | Debating the Infrastructure Bill of 3201 |
| Message | Article 3 can go. It will be scrapped. We still feel eminent domain is an important issue that needs to be addressed. |
| Date | 09:17:28, October 24, 2011 CET | From | Syzygy Party | To | Debating the Infrastructure Bill of 3201 |
| Message | Yes it is, but we do not feel that local government should be allowed to decide what is and isn't eminent domain. We agree with the Whigs on this. It's too sensitive an issue to leave with eminent domain. Unless Article 1 is changed, we must vote no on this bill. |
| Date | 14:24:48, October 24, 2011 CET | From | Animal Rights Party | To | Debating the Infrastructure Bill of 3201 |

| Message | While we support Deltarian corporations, we affirm this bill with much caution as their is much potential for abuse . |
| Date | 00:32:23, October 25, 2011 CET | From | Animal Rights Party | To | Debating the Infrastructure Bill of 3201 |
| Message | Proceeding to vote. |
| Date | 07:00:22, October 25, 2011 CET | From | Syzygy Party | To | Debating the Infrastructure Bill of 3201 |
| Message | We do not feel that corporations should not have the right to eminent domain. Therefore, we can not allow this to pass as is. |
