| Message | Mr Speaker You would be crippling our military with this proposal, its a strong no for us. John Kasser Founder Of UN |
| Date | 22:49:55, October 23, 2015 CET | From | Conservative Party | To | Debating the Budget proposal of August 3926 |
| Message | Mr . Speaker We disagree with cutting funds to the military please explain why cuts to the military are necessary at this time? With the new workfare policy health and social services must be cut. Why would funding levels be raised when new policy ensures less people will be getting assistance. If anything should be raised would be education for job training purposes. |
| Date | 23:33:44, October 23, 2015 CET | From | Rutanian Environmentalist Workers Party | To | Debating the Budget proposal of August 3926 |
| Message | Mr Speaker, We agree that the defence budget should be cut. Our only gripe would be that not enough is going to environmental causes, but we are prepared to forego this and vote yes on this budget. Steven Taylor, Leader of the REWP |
| Date | 04:02:56, October 24, 2015 CET | From | Alliance | To | Debating the Budget proposal of August 3926 |
| Message | Mr Speaker Despite our agreement on increasing the education and environment budget, there is simply not enough revenue to cover all those expenses, thus, we hope that the Fair Tax Act can be approved, which will bring 1B RUT more into the treasury, of which then can be spent on the abovementioned fields. A new budget will be proposed in 3928 to do so. Donald Moresby Finance Minister |

| 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. |
