| Message | Change it so the government can give worthy organizations grants for museums. We'd like to preserve our history a little more carefully. |
| Date | 21:41:40, February 06, 2006 CET | From |  Liberal Democrats | To | Debating the Further Economic Reforms Bill |
| Message | 1 - Yes 2 - Yes 3 - No 4 - Yes 5 - See LPV 6 - Yes 7 - The State contracts with private companies to provide public housing is my favourite. All housing is private but rent is subsidised for low-income households is also an option though. Maybe I'll vote yes anyway, because I don't like lots of localisation :) |
| Date | 21:42:55, February 06, 2006 CET | From | Liberal Democrats | To | Debating the Further Economic Reforms Bill |
| Message | Also, I could live with "The national government contracts with private companies to maintain a system of libraries." The option that you now have banishes libraries altogether, which is unacceptable! |
| Date | 23:12:28, February 06, 2006 CET | From | Radical League | To | Debating the Further Economic Reforms Bill |
| Message | We shall review five and seven, but the libraries stand. |
| Date | 01:30:40, February 07, 2006 CET | From | Libertarian Party of Valruzia | To | Debating the Further Economic Reforms Bill |
| Message | Our ideal solution for libraries would be to allow local governments to completely handle the issue. |
| Date | 02:35:41, February 07, 2006 CET | From | Liberal Democrats | To | Debating the Further Economic Reforms Bill |
| Message | @LPV: I rather have that than the current one. I'll say Yes now and let's revert when this bill is passed? |
| Date | 10:35:42, February 07, 2006 CET | From | Radical League | To | Debating the Further Economic Reforms Bill |
| Message | Fine by us. |
| Date | 11:21:15, February 07, 2006 CET | From | Restoration Party | To | Debating the Further Economic Reforms Bill |
| Message | shite...i like it except the bit about libraries. |
| Date | 12:46:34, February 07, 2006 CET | From | Libertarian Party of Valruzia | To | Debating the Further Economic Reforms Bill |
| Message | Then we agree to a change after this. :) |
