| Message | Mr speaker, The country is in a financial crisis. How is subsidies and subsidising going to help our economy? It won't! |
| Date | 12:24:43, March 31, 2016 CET | From | Logarchic Philosophical Front | To | Debating the Education Bill |
| Message | Mr Speaker, our country is only in financial crisis because of one value - Health and Social Services are being provided 9 trillion crowns, while our GDP may only support one and a half. Once we gain a majority, we shall re-allocate the economy to provide for this and bring us out of debt. Remember, it is the Conservative coalition government who caused this crisis, and once we are allowed the cabinet, we shall bring Hobrazia out of crisis. |
| Date | 12:30:37, March 31, 2016 CET | From | Conservative Party of Hobrazia | To | Debating the Education Bill |
| Message | Mr speaker, My party welcomes this response and will add that we will support a full LPF cabinet so we recommend that they propose one to make government sooner rather than later. |
