| Message | Herr Präsident, I have a feeling that our farmers will feel rather betrayed by the HDV voting to expropriate them and hand over the forestland they work to a central government super-bureaucracy. The rural people deserve better than this, and the LBU will make sure that they do not lose their political representation by voting this left-wing radical bill down.

| Message | (OOC: Oops, I screwed up. Obviously there is a lot more objectionable stuff in there... I somehow missed the third article.) Herr Präsident, A clerical error, I assure you. While we agree with the fourth article because we think there are far more appropriate pets than wild animals, we consider the pre-approval of all agricultural chemicals a bridge too far - the current duty of information is more than sufficient. We also have our doubts about the clause cited by Herr Hartleb - we believe the current situation is more than adequate. Hunting and fishing, too, are best handled locally. Must we really have Kien plan for our hunters and fishermen when and where they may fish? Jelmer Kerrlich, MdR (HDV - Ruhfeld und Bauerland, Kuratha) Umweltsprecher |

| Message | Gicho-sama, The Hon. Member from the KSRP is correct to remind us of our duties as stewards of the environment. His presumption however that Crownland governments are less able to look after our environment is misguided. A box ticker in the capital can't possibly know more about the environmental problems in my home city Miyako than the local Mayor and Council. As for the other parties - Ha ha ha! They are in a bit of a quandary, they have consistently opposed devolution of power but also appear to oppose centralisation. Which is which? Hideo Ohara KK President |

| Message | Herr Präsident, Herr Ohara must not have been paying attention these past decades. Many of the decentralisation measures in place now were the work of my party. Jelmer Kerrlich, MdR (HDV - Ruhfeld und Bauerland, Kuratha) Umweltsprecher |
