| Date | 18:06:16, February 12, 2006 CET | From | People's Communist Party | To | Debating the Child Benefit Reform |
| Message | We, the People's Communist Party, have come to consensus decision to oppose this worthless bill. Our children are our future and we should invest as many resources as is prudent into their well upbringing. |

| Message | To each according to their need, our leftist friends. The middle class and the wealthy do not need these benefits. Our government is not rich and should focus its resources where they are needed most, when it acts at all. |

| Message | Chirstian Democrats: We understand your point. A balanced budget is important and you make a good argument as to who gets the benefits. We have changed our position to be in support of the legislation. We hope that you will give us your support in the proposed software patent abolition and underage drinking prohibition bills. |
| Date | 23:03:01, February 12, 2006 CET | From | Christian Democrats | To | Debating the Child Benefit Reform |
| Message | The Christian Democrats supported the underage drinking reforms before, and will do so again despite their earlier failure. As for the software patent abolition, our party is still considering our position on the issue. We value individual initiative but we also value deregulation. Thank you. |

| Random fact: Did you know you can change the official name of your nation? All you need to do is draw up a new name that is in accordance with the Nation Renaming Guide, pass a bill proposing the name change with a two-thirds majority and then post a request to Moderation on the "Renaming Requests" thread. You can change city and region names in this way too. |
