| Message | "Those criteria are wholly insufficient. What if a former member of the LPS were to get their hands on a child? They may not have a history of child abuse but it would be clear to anyone that it would be entirely inappropriate for somebody of that calibre to raise a child." Cecylia Goldsea-Vincenti, Unionist Leader |
| Date | 05:06:16, May 07, 2015 CET | From | Free Democratic Party | To | Debating the Homes for Children Act of 3841 |
| Message | Why would you be so quickly to accuse the LPS of such actions when their allies also backed legislative that gave humans the right to choose when it comes to pornography? It shows inconsistencies in the Unionist doctrine. In addition to this corruption, the Unionists are stuck in the past, as they complain about a party that doesn't exist. They are a party that will ruin the country in efforts to retreat back to the days when they had power. Donald Bing |

| Random fact: In order for a Cabinet bill to pass, more than half of the legislature must vote for it and all of the parties included in the proposed Cabinet must support it. If your nation has a Head of State who is also the Head of Government, then the party controlling this character must also vote for the bill, since the Head of Government is also a member of the Cabinet. If any of these requirements are not met, the bill will not pass. |
