| Message | What? First you call us the "Independent Hitler Party" and now you oppose a bill just because it's by us? The AGSP has hit a new low. The ICP will never forget this, ever. Remember our words, you will regret the day you opposed us. We will wage an all-out political war against you. |

| Message | You realize that if this fails, then I will - after the elections and a majority is achieved - propose more drastic tax cuts. |

| Message | It's up to you.. We were fairly undecided on this bill, but your cabinet proposal made our mind up for us. Why are you surprised that we have withdrawn our support for this bill? |
| Date | 16:28:56, December 15, 2005 CET | From | Aloria Green Socialist Party | To | Debating the Laissez-Faire Tax Cuts |
| Message | I suppose the lesson you have learned is: if you had treated the AGSP fairly, you would have seen this bill pass. I'm happy to let it end at that. I am quite happy to vote for legislation that you propose, as long as we agree with it. We do not want war. The AGSP believes in cooperation for the good of Aloria. This is how it has always worked. |

| Random fact: It usually takes up to an hour for election results to generate. During this time, the "Next Election" date is put forward a month, which is confusing. Do not worry! In a short time, the election result will generate and the "Next Election" date will then correct itself. |
