| Message | "Mr. Speaker, I commend this budget to the house. This second half of the budget proposal is vital to fundung those tax plans that we have made in Part I. This budget proposal sees us cutting expenditure where services have been privatised or outsourced to other places and sees us re-invest £1m in Health Services, £1m in Education Services and £1 in creating a low-carbon economy to be spent on our Governmental projects to boost the health, sustainability and employabiltiy of those same people that we are cutting taxes for at the very bottom of our society." - Henry Spence-Jones, Secretary of State for Finance & Economica Unionist Vice-President (Events, Policy & Democracy) |
| Date | 00:56:30, March 22, 2012 CET | From | Meritocratic Alliance | To | Debating the Budget 3276: II |
| Message | Obviously we are not happy with seeing the Military budget reduced. |
| Date | 01:33:48, March 22, 2012 CET | From | Positive Progression Party | To | Debating the Budget 3276: II |
| Message | "The Renewal Party concurs with the Crowns. While yes, peace is something that we strive for, all peace is is a gap of war. Te only way peace will be achieved is when all people have equal respect for each other, in essence, equal military power. Reducing military funds will not prompt others to reduce their funds, but rather to take advantage in our loss of power." Samuel Clines Renewal Party Counselor of Defense |
| Date | 02:16:12, March 22, 2012 CET | From | Positive Progression Party | To | Debating the Budget 3276: II |
| Message | For the information of the Unionists... "The Renewal Party has clearly stated that we do not want military funds reduced. For the sake of debate and Solentia, the Renewal Party would like to make it known to the Unionists that we shall not vote yea on any spending bill that reduces military funds. In addition, any tax proposals that are paired with the inadequate spending bill will also be voted against or abstained, simply because to vote for one and not the other would throw all of Solentia's economy out of whack. We await the Unionists' move. We hope, for all of Solentia, they shall respond to the Crowns' and our recommendations." Samuel Clines |
| Date | 03:13:56, March 22, 2012 CET | From | Meritocratic Alliance | To | Debating the Budget 3276: II |
| Message | We could accept the bill as-is, but we would like the military spending restored as soon as prudent. |
| Date | 22:59:23, March 22, 2012 CET | From | Positive Progression Party | To | Debating the Budget 3276: II |
| Message | "We shall change our stance and accept this bill. However, liek the Crowns, we would like the military spending fixed as soon as possible. |
