| Message | Paulo Rosso, Shadow Minister of Food and Agriculture, The hypocrisy in this bill is astonishingly high. In your argument, you imply that farmers know best, which we agree, yet you want to regulate farm size. How does that work? Article 1 is acceptable, yet we believe that it is the AI's duty to protect small business from the excessive government and large companies, or in this case farms, and therefore we will not approve it in combination with article 2. Article 3 is great though! Respectfully. |

| Message | "In regard to Article 2, we feel it would give local governments - in consultation with farming organisations - the opportunity to craft the best policy which suits their local needs. In most cases we assume that would be no regulation, but some regions may wish to give smaller farmers an opportunity to grow." - Giorgio Pellegrino, Food and Agriculture spokesperson |

| Message | Davide Tajani, Leader of LP: "we could support the article 1 and 2, but we have some concerns about the lastone! We are talking about the health of the people, all the nation should follow health and security provisions, not this region but not this other. We are ready to support the bill if Si would like rethink on the third article. Health and Industrial regulation should be national matters to assure to ALL the citizens ALL OVER the national territory the same regulations and protections!" |

| 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. |
