| Message | The problem with your proposition: the governement can created riots and continued military attacks against working class. More than 400 Gold Peak workers are suffering high levels of cadmium in their body, at least eight have been diagnosed with cadmium poisoning. These injuries, typical in Gaduridos where over 36,000 workers died in industrial accidents last year, were the result of criminally deficient safety procedures and lack of protective clothing. Together with supporters and labour rights activists, they have been campaigning for improved compensation from the company and better provision of medical check-ups, sickness insurance etc. When the workers complained and approached the factory management to try and negotiate a solution, governement organised riots and ordered military staff to physically attack the workers. 10 January 2171 Salnaeta |

| Message | We're amazed at the Sociailst party's lies... however, what more could be expected from such filth. Our people our safe and protected and any more false claims to the contrary may very well see the families of your party forgotten to the world. |

| Message | How would the government 'create' riots? Other than that, just because the Socialist party states something as fact does not make it so. Regardless, we will vote in favour of the proposal - it is better than the current legislation. |
