| Message | OOC:SelCrus if you split up your bills maybe we can pass some of them but as a whole this bill won't pass and affects our positions negatively |
| Date | 13:28:20, April 08, 2013 CET | From | Freedom Party | To | Debating the Common Sense™ in the military and the justice sector act |
| Message | OOC: I don't know which of these would pass, perhaps a modified variant of the weapon exports article, otherwise my party seems to be pretty much alone when it comes to this sort of thinking. |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, this legislation would not improve Dranland's military effectiveness, and could potentially bring about an unstable situation. President Rafael Duvalle |

| Message | OOC: this kind of bill damages everyone. I'll vote yes just to stay militarist. |

| Message | OOC: If you solely care about the stats, you know you can abstain, right? No matter what the "random facts" state, it won't damage your visibility. If I were after vote maximization, I wouldn't have positioned myself as an environmentalist. These proposals are part of the Werin Da programme and have been since the beginning. |
| Date | 17:55:12, April 08, 2013 CET | From | Dranish Conservative Party | To | Debating the Common Sense™ in the military and the justice sector act |
| Message | OOC: I prefer to vote "in character" whatever is going on with the positionings. With 10 different parties, elections are going to be so unpredictable anyway that I'm not sure the positioning stuff will make much difference! |

| Random fact: In order for a Cabinet bill to pass, more than half of the legislature must vote for it and all of the parties included in the proposed Cabinet must support it. If your nation has a Head of State who is also the Head of Government, then the party controlling this character must also vote for the bill, since the Head of Government is also a member of the Cabinet. If any of these requirements are not met, the bill will not pass. |
