| Message | Due to over 70% of the Malivian People favoring children having the right to work in some form in the December 3619 edition of the Holy Malivian Empire Daily (available on the nation page) the Freedom Party can not support the following bill. Children and their families believe they should have the right to choose if they wish to participate in the workforce, and the Freedom Party will stand by that right. |
| Date | 06:07:13, February 11, 2014 CET | From | Hosian Democratic Party | To | Debating the The Family Labor Act of 3620 |
| Message | The Conservatives would like to point out that schooling is mandatory for children up to the age of 18 when they are in fact no longer children. Any work that takes place would be during the summer break, and additional regulations on things like minimum age and safety regulations allow children below the age of 18 to help support their families and develop a work ethic. |
