| Message | Mr. Speaker, How can the DLP propose such a bill while they wanted to cut spending for a total of 1billion fo Infrastructure and Transport? Yet the DLP wishes to cut in everything. The DLP is only here under foreign influence to give the people of Lodamun a lower standard of living! Despite my rethoric we will support your bill if the proposed budget of our Finance Minister will pass. Hannes Percy Chairman NAP |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, I believe that Mr. Percy is missing the point of the budget we proposed. We proposed said budget to demonstrate to the Grand Republican National whoever they are that we were willing to make cuts to offset the tax cut on essential goods we had proposed. A tax cut which your party accused was a proposal to make the rich richer. Maybe if the esteemed gentleman from the National Action Party would pull his head out of anus and read and take party in the debates he would be up to speed with what is going on. I was proposed the budget in question with full knowledge it would not pass. I would point out also that we have proposed tax cuts to lessen the burden on the poor and working, proposed a living wage, proposed fully subsidized higher education, proposed subsidized public housing, and proposed subsidized public transportation. You stand here and accuse my party of coming to lower the standard of living of the already less fortunate and oppressed, but what has your party done but whine and moan about everything everyone else is doing? NOTHING! Perhaps your party should rename itself the National Inaction Party, as it does nothing! Joshua Fauver Democratic Labour Party |

| Message | Mr Speaker, It is clear that the gentlemen of the DLP has very long toes. You wanted tax cuts and many parties raised the question on how you would pay for these tax cuts. We have already seen that you are you cutting in the departments Science and Technology, the future of our nation. Your are cutting in our infrastructure and transport and as the biggest gift of all ... the DLP takes up the biggest axe they could find and just cut in our Health and Social services that is critical to our poor, as the rich can afford their hospital bills of course. My family has proven much more for Lodamun then your party, influenced by foreigners, could achieve in decades. Henry Percy Chairman NAP |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, Here again we the National Action Party continuing to moan and complain, but do they take action? No. Of course not. Author a proposal! Offer up a bill! Do something! Yet no, they sit here and complain. Yet the call themselves the National Action Party. Let us be honest, it's a joke! A great sham! They will talk about what they DID, they will talk about what others are doing, but won't talk about others are doing. Let us ask ourselves, what are they doing? Absolutely nothing. This party is just sitting here bemoaning that my party is this and that, but I'll give them credit for one thing, we can't accuse them of anything, because they do nothing.

| Message | Mr. Speaker, The state already subsidises transport, and already pays for public housing. Yes, the private sector manages the actual construction, but after being hired by the state. The housing is free. -- Andre Fertig, Chairman of the GNRG, Minister of Trade & Industry, Vice President of Lodamun |

| Message | Mr. Speaker I advise the gentlemen of the DLP to take his pills for his heart. Such a rage is not healthy. We are not making proposals just to proof our 'activity'. We rather propose proposals who would help Lodamun rather then propose bills influenced by foreigners who are trying to undermine our nation. Hannes Percy Chairman NAP |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, I appreciate the attacks concerning what our intention as a party is as well as the assumptions about why we propose bills. But, if you're party refuses to act on anything then please quit complaining that everyone who is is doing so with wrong intentions, even when you support the action being taken. You are nit picking an whining and moaning. Don't complain about the actions other take, others are bold enough to take, if you won't take any. Joshua Fauver Democratic Labour Party leader |

| Message | Mr. Speaker I think we should hold a price called "Most foreign influenced party" . Think the DLP could have a chance for it. Then maybe they finally could achieve something for their 'bold' actions that would benefit the bourgeoisie. Hannes Percy Chairman NAP |
| Date | 07:49:49, December 23, 2014 CET | From | Democratic Labour Party | To | Debating the Public Service Act of 3777 |
| Message | Mr. Speaker, We would like to know on what basis does the gentleman from the NAP accuse us of being "most foreign influenced party"? Do they have evidence for such a claim? Or are they in the habit of making baseless accusations? Joshua Fauver Democratic Labour Party leader |
| Date | 07:55:58, December 23, 2014 CET | From | Grand Nationalist Fraction | To | Debating the Public Service Act of 3777 |
| Message | Mr. Speaker, what is wrong with the current system of public transport? Louis Vandenoverkant Minister of Infrastructure and Transport |
| Date | 09:43:54, December 23, 2014 CET | From | Movement for Percyism | To | Debating the Public Service Act of 3777 |
| Message | Mr. Speaker, Our 'accusations' or what we rather call 'facts' are proven, just take a look at your budget proposal. Your proposal weakens our nation right down it's heart. Hannes Percy Chairman NAP |
| Date | 18:53:27, December 23, 2014 CET | From | Democratic Labour Party | To | Debating the Public Service Act of 3777 |
| Message | Mr. Speaker, What has been proven here is that the NAP is keen to stand here on this floor and state as facts what are nothing more than his own assumptions. For no reason, other than that he disagreed with a budget proposal, he will stand here and call our party "the most foreign influenced party" and continue to stand here on this floor and engage in name calling under the guise of it being a debate over a piece of legislation that he supports! Mr. Percy, you voted for this bill! You support what this bill is hoping to accomplish! Why don't you just yield the floor and take your fight to something you actually disagree with instead of taking to the floor to raise baseless accusations against my party? Joshua Fauver Democratic Labour Party leader |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, We told in our first comment that we would support this bill if the budget proposal of the GNRG Finance Minister would get passed. I think the DLP legislators are deaf. Hannes Percy Chairman NAP |

| Random quote: "We must show that liberty is not merely one particular value but that it is the source and condition of most moral values. What a free society offers to the individual is much more than what he would be able to do if only he were free. We can therefore not fully appreciate the value of freedom until we know how a society of free men as a whole differs from one in which unfreedom prevails." - Friedrich August Hayek |
