| Message | Are you telling me your solution to the collapse of the agriculture industries (caused by the collapse of the capitalist world economy) is to... ignore them? This will only make the problem worse! Never mind the economic crisis, let's just ignore it! Just let people deal with it themselves! Volker Wittke VP Leader Minister for Foreign Affairs |

| Message | As you can see "comrade" Wittke, there are significant obstacles preventing perfect competition from appearing in today's economy. We do not deny this. Yet the agricultural industry probably comes closest to exhibiting perfect competition because it is characterized by many small producers with virtually no ability to alter the selling price of their products. The international commercial buyers of agricultural commodities are generally very well informed and, although agricultural production involves some barriers to entry, it is not particularly difficult to enter the marketplace as a producer. Allowing for open competition in our market will motivate innovation and creativity, as opposed to the current levels of economic incest and stagnation. Rudolf Stranz Leader of the VFD |

| Message | Did you seriously just say economic incest? That massive ten minute speech of nonesense is effectively just a fluffy nice way to say 'let's ignore the needs of the real people.' The farming industry cannot stand alone in the international market, it needs support. Subsidies at the very least. Not just to be ignored. Our farmers are in the middle of an economic crisis, they can't drop prices low enough to compete. Not on an international scale. This policy is beyond insane. Volker Wittke VP Leader |

| Random fact: The people in your nation don't like inactive parties. When you often abstain from voting for a bill, they will dislike your party and your visibility to the electorate will decrease significantly. Low visibility will means you are likely to lose seats. So keep in mind: voting Yes or No is always better than Abstaining. |
