| Message | [Enter Prime Minister Colbert] Good day to my colleagues in the Senate. So far, we've held the majority in Solentia for a little less than two years. During that time frame, We've submitted 23 pieces of legislature to this committee of Senators in the hope that all proposed would end up ensuring the prosperity of the Solentian citizens. We believe in civil liberties, but slight regulation before anarchy. We believe in extensive government involvement to ensure our high standard of living in this nation and provide for those unable to provide for themselves in order to construct a truly fair life for all. And we know that the 23 documents presented to these Senators embodies these very ideals. We hope that this open forum will serve to continue to clarify our positions and reasoning behind our positions thus far, and embody the tenets we ran on during the last election, May 3851. We would now like to make available myself; as Prime Minister; our Minister of Foreign Affairs; Steven Haverford; our Minister of Infrastructure and Transport; Joseph Taylor, and our Minister of Trade and Industry; Tom Jamieson. Thank you, Mr. Speaker, you now have the floor. |

| Message | [Addressing Aaron Richardson] We started in this region hiring only internal officials who've worked with a "no debate, only vote" legislature at other political parties within Terra. We saw that other parties were doing this practice in Solentia, so we simply followed suit. We think that allowing debate would be a beneficial step towards a government we all want and we will draft a resolution supporting the decision to leave the debate process longer if all parties agreed to do the same. For now, we'll leave a gap of at least 4 months between bill drafting and voting. Thanks again for your question, Senator Richardson. Mr. Speaker, you now have the floor. |
