Date | 16:29:33, January 15, 2006 CET | From | Democratic Liberal Party | To | Debating the Federalism Act III |
Message | Opposed by the DLP. Local governments aren't meant for this sort of thing. Perhaps the SRP should stop following the ICP like lost sheep and think for themselves. |
Date | 16:36:47, January 15, 2006 CET | From | Social Reform Party | To | Debating the Federalism Act III |
Message | Perhaps you should consider the fact that we've always had a federalist platform? |
Date | 16:52:28, January 15, 2006 CET | From | Aloria Green Socialist Party | To | Debating the Federalism Act III |
Message | I could agree with 3 & 4, but never to 1 & 2... |
Date | 21:09:47, January 15, 2006 CET | From | Independent Capitalist Party | To | Debating the Federalism Act III |
Message | Against 3 and 4. Four is the reason we're out of a deficit, three should be unregulated. |
Date | 02:15:54, January 16, 2006 CET | From | Aloria Green Socialist Party | To | Debating the Federalism Act III |
Message | So you agree that national government ensures proper governance? |
Date | 04:03:14, January 16, 2006 CET | From | Independent Capitalist Party | To | Debating the Federalism Act III |
Message | 3 = devolved as far as it can be, to the companies. 4 = not wise, population growth is what got us out of the deficit. Those are two things the ICP are against devolving. We can only go so far. |
Date | 08:54:30, January 16, 2006 CET | From | Aloria Green Socialist Party | To | Debating the Federalism Act III |
Message | Exactly. It seems that everyone must regulate to some extent. |
Date | 15:23:35, January 16, 2006 CET | From | Independent Capitalist Party | To | Debating the Federalism Act III |
Message | It's all on balance. It must be devolved *unless* it is harmful to the nation. It is harmful to the nation to stop our population growth and harmful to our economy to restrict gambling. |
Date | 18:04:01, January 16, 2006 CET | From | Aloria Green Socialist Party | To | Debating the Federalism Act III |
Message | So it's just an issue of what ICP and AGSP define as harmful? That makes more sense then some of the other defences you have made... |
Date | 19:41:17, January 16, 2006 CET | From | Fair Capitalism Party | To | Debating the Federalism Act III |
Message | I don't see how "we are a confederacy" is a convincing argument. It's like defending a bill outlawing free speech by saying "we are authoritarian." |
Date | 21:44:38, January 16, 2006 CET | From | Independent Capitalist Party | To | Debating the Federalism Act III |
Message | You're authoritarian? I'll keep that in mind... |
Date | 23:34:58, January 16, 2006 CET | From | Independent Capitalist Party | To | Debating the Federalism Act III |
Message | Well, we're banking on the arrival of the federalst Freedom Party to pass this. Hopefully it will pass. Long live Aloria! |
Date | 04:22:31, January 17, 2006 CET | From | Independent Capitalist Party | To | Debating the Federalism Act III |
Message | Oh, that's great. Freedom Party abstains. That supports my opinion that the Freedom Party only votes extreme federalist/capitalist when they can't win. Voter deciever. |
Date | 06:01:11, January 17, 2006 CET | From | Independent Capitalist Party | To | Debating the Federalism Act III |
Message | YES! Aloria is a confederacy after all! :D |
