| Message | Mr. Speaker, our farmers mean food. Food means life. We have to provide subsidies and help to farmers if necessary. Farming has a lot of variables, so things could go wrong at a certain moment. Gauthier Acke LNC expert on agriculture |
| Date | 12:49:00, November 02, 2014 CET | From | People of Freedom (P.F) | To | Debating the Privatisation Act |
| Message | Mr. Speaker. We dont see how any of these proposals benefit privitzation within Lodamun. More of restrictive funding and cut to government spending. We cannot just assume by cutting govt spending automatically this will cause business to privitize. Matteo Powers. Leader of The JDP |
| Date | 21:35:44, November 02, 2014 CET | From | Conservative Monarchist Alliance | To | Debating the Privatisation Act |
| Message | Mr. Speaker, We can assure the LNC that Lodamun's agricultural sector will be much more efficient under private ownership than it is at present. State bureaucracies are notoriously inept when it comes to running any kind of business enterprise. Mathis Weiman Economic Affairs spokesman |
| Date | 00:21:00, November 03, 2014 CET | From |  Great National Republican Guard | To | Debating the Privatisation Act |
| Message | Mr. Speaker, The idiot from the CMA is pretending as if the entire agricultural sector is under state control. Most of our agriculture sector is under private control, but owned by individual farmers instead of large corporations and large Hosian terrorist groups. -- Kevin Landau, Opposition Spokesman on Finance |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, To clarify, I believe my party's Finance Spokesman would prefer a large corporation over a Hosian terrorist group. -- Gordon Fertig, Chairman of the GNRG, Opposition Leader |
| Date | 00:10:09, November 04, 2014 CET | From | Conservative Monarchist Alliance | To | Debating the Privatisation Act |
| Message | Mr. Speaker, Gordon Fertig's idiotic attitude towards Hosians demonstrates why he is manifestly unfit to ever become President. Mathis Weiman Economic Affairs spokesman |
| Date | 00:29:47, November 04, 2014 CET | From | Great National Republican Guard | To | Debating the Privatisation Act |
| Message | Mr. Speaker, I had been President before. I am not a Hosian, so I am not unfit to be President. -- Gordon Fertig, Chairman of the GNRG, Opposition Leader |
