| Date | 02:20:44, December 07, 2015 CET | From | Bailonese Council Communist Party (BCCP) | To | Debating the Repeal of Public Funding for Political Campaigns |
| Message | The public financing of campaigns is to give all political parties equal representation, if that is how it is not working, then it must be reformed. We will vote against this bill unless stated otherwise. We would like to add that we support only modest and non-invasive advertising campaigns and definitely not ones that negatively affect local communities. |
| Date | 16:46:38, December 07, 2015 CET | From | Communist Party of Beluzia | To | Debating the Repeal of Public Funding for Political Campaigns |
| Message | Passing this bill would mean oligarchy, as the only way to finance campaign would be by accepting donations from private sources. This would open way for corruption and lobbying, and would endanger Beluzian democracy. |
