| Message | Please note that due to progressive limitations oppressed by various treaties, we were unable to add proposals to allow for racial segregation, we sincerely apologize for this misunderstanding to the respective interest groups. We will be sure to add proposals to withdraw from these treaties. |

| Message | The Confederates have constantly sought to aggravate this coalition government - and for a long time we decided to tolerate the strange logic your party used to enforce your archaic and dangerous laws, but this is absolutely outrageous. This Parliament surely cannot pass this bill. |

| Message | Confederates: In what possible realm would it make sense for child labor policies to be decided by state legislatures? How can you possibly justify withdrawing from the League of Anti-Slavery? Your rhetoric was annoying but your proposals are regressive and blatantly racist. |

| Message | I simply do not understand how devolving these powers would provide any sort of meaningful progress for the nation. Child labor is horribly wrong and should be illegal. There is no situation where this labor is acceptable. Household chores are one thing, working in a factory at age 12 is another. Besides that, this legislation would be removing us from several organizations that are just in every sense of the word. Do you wish for slavery to become rampant in Beluzia? I sincerely hope not. This legislation is dangerous to the social progress of the nation and we must all vote against it. |

| Message | Child Labour and racial segregation are very bad things. Beluzia is too modern for that, right? |

| Random fact: It usually takes up to an hour for election results to generate. During this time, the "Next Election" date is put forward a month, which is confusing. Do not worry! In a short time, the election result will generate and the "Next Election" date will then correct itself. |
