| Message | Mr Speaker, Article 1: Please tell me an example where a nation doesn't have a central bank? Article 3: that's similar to providing traffic rules and guidelines but without any traffic police Article 4: it's a matter of Extreme ecological importance to the nation, the local governments can't be given a choice in preserving our environment |

| Message | Article 1: Most free nations operate without Central Banks. Central Banks are nothing more than banking cartels. Why should we allow a Bank to loan our nation money at interest, money that we can print for free. Secondly most Central banks use a fiat currency to operate, there has never been a successful fiat currency they always fail. We support Banks not given special privledges, they are institutions invented for safe-housing of the publics money while we favor legislation that would ensure the banks dont spend away or misuse the publics money we do not support banks being given special privledges as if they were rulers of the people. Artile 3 & 4: We do not support the 'all-knowing' statist leaders in government impeding economic development or natural progress. With true freedom all will work out as it should. |

| Message | May I ask the honourable Whig Party, from where does it get its' "data"? The last time I checked, the micro-states of Monaco and Andorra are the only states where there are no central banks. Your data wouldn't even apply if they are a reference to Terran Banking practices. Also, the NC wonders how can an experienced political faction, which has been around for 3 centuries such as the Whig Party keep such naive opinions? There's a huge difference between practicality and utopian ideals. I believe we should declare Deltaria as an Anarchy if the ideals are to be followed, or maybe that's the ultimate long-term goal of the Hon. Whig Party? |

| Message | We in the Whig Party find the National Congress' position to be naive, as you stated the Whig party and its predecessors have been in Deltarian politics for some time now, and as history shows our message resonates with the Deltarian people, the utter dominance these ideals have had in the past is the the proof of such things. The statist in the National Congress and other socialist parties and Communist that will come to see their era of Big Brother deciding what is good for you is coming to an end |
