Message | "The Unionists continue to support the absolute right of Solentia's Ahmadi communities to have their children brought up in-line with their faith and set of values without the racist, hate-fuelled prejudicial stance that faith equates scientific ignorance. Ahamadism is fully compliant with modern science and the followers of Akim have made substantial contributions to scientific and cultural progress that does not deserve to be whitewashed in the false name of secularism." Romyt Salarin, Unionist Leader |

Message | "Mr/Madam Chairman, The bill prohibits teachers in public schools from forcing students to pray, thus protecting the religious freedoms of the students. I find it peculiar that the ASP doesn't understand that." Senator Nathalie Pelosi, DSP Shinatawa |

Message | Some people consider atheism a religion. Are you going to ban science class too? Teachers should be able to have freedom of speech. With privatization of schools, we wouldn't run into this problem. Donald Bing |

Message | "Mr/Madam Chairman, Mr. Bing clearly knows nothing of what he is talking of. We aren't attempting to ban RELIGION all this bill does is prevent teachers from attempting to force religion upon their students. Both teachers and students still have the right to pray alone. This is not an attack on religion, this a protection of all religions." Senator Nathalie Pelosi, DSP Shinatawa |

Message | Also, our party doesn't believe in public schooling, so how would the government enforce this? Donald Bing |

Message | "Mr/Chairman I seek unanimous consent to address the Gentleman of ASP directly, Mr. Bing, regardless of whether you and the rest of your party disagree with public education, it still is a fact and exists in this country. Personally I don't care if you disagree with public education, nor do I care to here your constant unrealistic blithering about anarchy. It's extremism, it's irresponsible, and it is not what the people of this nation want. Government is not evil by fact, government is only evil when run by selfish and greedy people such as yourself. Mr. Bing you could afford to send your children to a private school, or a private hospital if they were sick. Most Solentians cannot afford that, most Solentians approve of public health and education, two things you are hell bent on taking away from them. You should be ashamed of your war on the poor of this nation, and I'm sure your corporate sponsors are proud. Your party is a joke, and a bad one at that. You lack even the most basic knowledge in terms of drafting legislation, every bill you enroll is constant of completely unrelated topics, and you have never supported anything that would improve the lives of the people of Solentia. That one last fact is what sets you apart from all other parties here, whether it be my party, the Unionist or even the SUN, at least they're doing what they feel is best for the nation. You simply vote in a manor that will benefit your corporate sponsors and wealthy party members. You parade under the guise of freedom without realizing that the poor can never be free, for under capitalism they are forced to labor day in and day out for a meager wage. Shame on you Mr. Bing, and shame on the mess you call a political party. Anarchists in Government? What a bloody joke." Senator Dianne Goldman DSP, Fuwan |

Random fact: It usually takes up to an hour for election results to generate. During this time, the "Next Election" date is put forward a month, which is confusing. Do not worry! In a short time, the election result will generate and the "Next Election" date will then correct itself. |
