| Date | 15:55:03, October 19, 2012 CET | From | Socialist Party | To | Debating the Budget proposal of September 3382 |
| Message | Mr Speaker, this budget will curb our grossly inflated education budget and environment budgets, whilst reaffirming our commitment to a strong health service and armed services. It also doubles our foreign affairs budget, in recognition of the valuable services provided by our diplomats across Terra. |
| Date | 16:02:29, October 19, 2012 CET | From | Old Whig Party | To | Debating the Budget proposal of September 3382 |
| Message | Mr Speaker, The Old Whig Party shall support this budget on the account that it cuts government spending overall. Though the increase in the health budget is objectionable, and the increase in armed services is questionable - especially considering we are ending mandatory service, we will still support this bill. |

Where appropriate, they should also provide guidance to players on where to find help with translations and character names. This might include, for example, links to Google Translate, Behind the Name's Random Name Generator and Fantasy Name Generators. |
