| Message | Strongly oppose. |
| Date | 05:31:27, April 26, 2017 CET | From | Patriots Party | To | Debating the Wage Gap Bill |
| Message | We support Article 2 of this proposal but Article 1 is a strict no-go for our party. We will not have this great nation held to ransom by Labour Unions. We ask the Progression party to amend this bill. |
| Date | 09:40:44, April 26, 2017 CET | From | Progression | To | Debating the Wage Gap Bill |
| Message | Article 1 involves unions and employers' organisations - we believe that is quite fair. The fact that CEOs can earn 200 times more than office workers is grotesque. |
| Date | 10:00:40, April 26, 2017 CET | From | Patriots Party | To | Debating the Wage Gap Bill |
| Message | It's sad that we cannot work together on this bill but again we must stress that we will support article 2 if it is ever put forward on its own. Until such time we cannot support this bill. |
| Date | 11:42:34, April 26, 2017 CET | From | Progression | To | Debating the Wage Gap Bill |
| Message | It is a shame that the PP will not support dialogue between employers and employees. |
| Date | 12:06:44, April 26, 2017 CET | From | Patriots Party | To | Debating the Wage Gap Bill |
| Message | It's a shame that Progression wishes to have a socialist wage cap put in place, again we must stress that we will back the 'living wage' proposal. |
| Date | 12:50:20, April 26, 2017 CET | From | Progression | To | Debating the Wage Gap Bill |
| Message | A wage cap to tackle gross inequality - or is that something PP supports? They claim they exist to support all Luthorians - the fact is they only support the wealthy ones. |
| Date | 16:17:17, April 26, 2017 CET | From | Patriots Party | To | Debating the Wage Gap Bill |
| Message | A wage cap to punish those who work hard and earn vital jobs and taxes for our nations people. How can you state we are for the wealthy only when we have lauded your proposal in article 2. We will be as constructive as possible with other parties, I just wish the same could be said for Progression when met with an alternative view. |
| Date | 17:29:47, April 26, 2017 CET | From | Progression | To | Debating the Wage Gap Bill |
| Message | Manual workers labour extremely hard yet earn some of the lowest salaries in the country, while CEOs can go to the golf course whenever they feel like and still receive millions of pounds in bonuses. |

| Random fact: Players who consent to a particular role-play by acknowledging it in their own role-play cannot then disown it or withdraw their consent from it. For example, if player A role-plays the assassination of player B's character, and player B then acknowledges the assassination in a news post, but then backtracks and insists the assassination did not happen, then he will be required under the rules to accept the validity of the assassination role-play. |
