| Message | Very dangerous bill. This could lead to slave working hours. |

| Message | Member of Congress, We remind this House that there are anti-slavery laws in place in Baltusia and therefore the assertion from the Progressive Party is completely unfounded. This bill will, in fact, give so many more options to companies and employees: it will benefit the self-employed and lead to flexible hours that can suit everyone from mothers returning to work to those who are happy to spend a few hours extra in the office getting a project complete.

| Random fact: In cases where a party has no seat, the default presumption should be that the party is able to contribute to debates in the legislature due to one of its members winning a seat at a by-election. However, players may collectively improvise arrangements of their own to provide a satisfying explanation for how parties with no seats in the legislature can speak and vote there. |
