| Message | Two Things 1.Given our higer income level we should significantly boost our spending. The Nation isnt supposed to be just a sitting cash cow. The spend the money for the betterment of Beluzian people who pay their taxes. 2. No party should have any unfair financial advantage on election campaigning. This keeps the political parties free from lobbyst groups and also ensured that the election results are not strongly influenced by overmarketing. |

| Message | Rebuttles: 1. It's always pertinent that a nation should be operating at a surplus. It's even better that we have such a large surplus. This gives us a huge leeway in regards to raising spending in areas should an emergency or situation that calls for such things arise. 2. None of the funding of government goes to any political parties for campaign purposes. Campaigning has nothing to do with a nation budget and should not be used as such to push a spend heavy agenda. That being said, we vote no. |

| Message | Why does the HoG/HoS need a 2.5 Bln BELs spend increase? And, finance, trade and industry...such high increases at times when they do not even need it! This would put us in debts, and debts over debts, then increased taxes to cover them, then drastic budet cuts, and it would not be very long before Beluzia goes back to scenes like it's crippled old days'! We will not allow any more debts, or any action that hurts our economy and people any more! We believe, donations are fine, but again, would you explain what your perception of 'public funds' is?Becuse, how is this proposal helping the political and economic situation of the country in any form I cannot understand! |

| Message | We may want to agree with your intentions for introducing the campaign financing proposal, but this alternative you've put up isn't going to help, would make matters worse if anything. Thus, it's a No. |
