| Message | OOC: Articles 1 and 2 are definitely a no-no. Didn't get round to reading the rest because it's so long. |
| Date | 10:17:03, July 03, 2017 CET | From | Partito Radicale | To | Debating the FR program |
| Message | OOC: Article 3 we'd support, a lot of the rest is authoritarian. I can see you're aiming to woo over AI voters during the next parliament! |

| Message | OOC: sorry, why you are talking in OOC about an IC bill? |
| Date | 14:48:06, July 03, 2017 CET | From | Partito Radicale | To | Debating the FR program |
| Message | OOC: Because I was making these comments right before the election result was being simulated and released. I wanted to comment but not ICly because I don't know about you but I don't have the power to look into the future, thus did not know what the state or strength of my party would be post-election. Also, the first post was OOC because my main point (once again) was that the bill was too long and too varied. |
