| Message | I would even drop it to 60, Mr. Speaker. My party has been thinking about it for some time, and we are glad that our colleagues brought it up. -- Alejandro Porras, NRG Spokesman on Health & Social Services |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, we obviously approve, and we are glad that mister Porras agrees with us, and even wants to consider lowering the retirement age to 60. We only wonder if that wouldn't effect our economy and finances to much. If the effect would be acceptable, we might consider supporting the lowering to 60 (or any number in between). Hendrik Deman Financial advisor P&A |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, We would prefer to have it lowered to 60, since our employment figures are studied in multiples of 5: http://classic.particracy.net/viewregion.php?regionid=100#economics -- Reuben Landau, Finance Minister |

| Random fact: When you join the game, you will find yourself with only zero seats. That's because your party's representatives haven't been elected yet. You need to establish your party's position on issues by proposing several bills that your party wants passed and sending them to vote. This raises your visibility and if you do it enough, you will win seats at the next election. |
