| Message | "Mr. Senate Warden, Due to the close nature of this vote inside the Conservative Party of Solentia, I have been instructed to inform the Senate of the voting margins: Solentians for Peace in Majatra (19%), Conservative Socialists (16%), Worker's Defense League (14%) VOTE YEA (49%). Free Market Conservatives (9%), Libertarian Congress (7%), Taylorian Conservatives (6%) VOTE NAY (22%). Moderate Conservatives (20%), Harding Internationalists (6%), Racial Supremacists (3%) ABSTAIN (29%). Due to failure to reach an inner-party majority, the CPS must abstain on this bill. I yield to Mr. Damien Rice, CPS Assistant Party Chairman and Moderate Conservative faction spokesman." Jack Hawthorne, CPS Senatorial Lead "Mr. Senate Warden, I thank Mr. Hawthorne for yielding his time. I feel obligated to the Senate to explain my faction's abstention on this bill, which may seem incongruous with our previous support of socialist reforms. The Moderates within the CPS feel that this bill goes too far in socializing the Solentian economy. We are in favor of a mixed economy which utilizes the best of both the public and private sectors. We supported the Worker's Defense League on their previously proposed legislation as thanks for their support in our inner-party coalition, but we cannot support this bill. I yield." Damien Rice, CPS Assistant Party Chairman, Moderate Conservative faction spokesperson |

| Message | Can the sponsoring party explain to the Senate what exactly is wrong with the current system that justifies the effective nationalisation of our power system and the stripping of state control of their own fire departments? |
