| Message | Mr Speaker, We believe current provisions are more than satisfactory enough. Now especially is not the time to make such large investments anyway, we need to be cautious with our spending. Rebecca Wehausen, FD Finance Spokesperson |

| Message | Speaker, There's no reason whatsoever to make such ridiculous demands in a time in which we shouldn't be spending money at all. We'll do everything to help the strikers get reasonable compensation, but this is a bridge too far. Randolf Urquhart |

| Message | Herr Speaker, It's sad to see that many social programs in Dorvik have been bastardized and turned into Communist and Socialist policies and those that defend them are bleeding this country. The current program is absolutely fine; they can support a family of four without falling into poverty. Vinitharius von und zu Gießen SNP Federal Assembly Leader |
