| Message | ""It is not the role of government to discriminate against its citizens" - It is, however, the role of government to act in the interests of child welfare. The Unionists shall be opposing this Act." Alexander York, Unionist Vice-President (Legislative Lead) |
| Date | 07:10:11, March 29, 2012 CET | From | Chann National Party (CNP) | To | Debating the Hope For Children Act of 3280 |
| Message | "Child welfare? Is it child welfare to keep children in the foster care system where they are switched from family to family? Is it to the benefit of a child to place them in orphanages where they are still without the love they so desperately need to maintain their welfare? Our policy is, that if the couple or individual passes the test and shows that they will love the child and care for its well being, than they are more than qualified. Children need loving homes! The Unionist are quick to shout 'racism!' and 'equality' yet here they contradict their own platform by limiting the right of children to a loving home and limiting those homes to heterosexual couples." |

| Random fact: "OOC", "IC" and "IG" are commonly-used acronyms in Particracy. "OOC" refers to comments, discussions and actions which are out-of-character, meaning they are done player-to-player rather than party-to-party. "IC" refers to in-character interactions (ie. party-to-party). Similarly, "IG" means in-game, although this term may also simply refer to what happens in the actual game interface, as opposed to on the forum or elsewhere. "RP" just means "role-play". |
