| Message | Mr.Speaker. According to our economists, for a healthy economy we need to bring government spending down to at least 16% of GDP, currently we are way over that at 29% of GDP. This budget seeks to near that all while lowering the tax burden for all citizens of Zardugal. Please join me in voting "yes" on this budget. We estimate this budget turning up a surplus, however in the event it falls short we shall immediately propose a solution that remedies this. Alexandra Onassis Prime Minister |

| Message | Mr.Speaker, The cuts are hardly drastic as these are war time expenditures- and we arent even at war! We call all parties to vote yes on this budget- especially the KNL. This budget is far better than what we have. Alexandra Onassis Prime Minister |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, Some parts of this budget are encouraging. Increase of spending for Education and Culture and Science and Technology are indeed subjects that my would party will always support. However, this bill is very radical and the VAT increase of non-luxury goods with a stunning 15% is something we would never agree upon. Pedro Martin Chief Whip and Faction Leader |
| Date | 02:03:47, February 07, 2015 CET | From | Liberala Demokrata Partio | To | Debating the ZLP Budget proposal (P.1) of August 3797 |
| Message | Mr.Speaker, Our right and honorable friend would take note that we also lower income tax for every person in the country and eliminate it all together for people making less than 25,000 a year. These tax reforms will bring more job creators to Zardugal and bring about a new age of prosperity. We would ask the member to reconsider, however will be open to negotiation when we propose our next budget. Alexandra Onassis Prime Minister |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, We are open for negotiations with our friends and coalition partner. We are not against your intentions for fairer taxes and/or sharp decrease of military spending. We have some issues with the current numbers and tax proposals. We hope we can have some input. Pedro Martin Chief Whip and Faction Leader |

| Random fact: In Culturally Protected nations, special care must be taken to ensure realism is maintained when role-playing a government controlled by an ethnic and/or religious minority. If it is to be supposed that this government is supported by a majority of the population, then this should be plausibly and sufficiently role-played. The burden of proof is on the player or players role-playing such a regime to demonstrate that it is being done realistically |
