| Message | Zeno Orio, interim chairperson Believe us or not, but we will support this bill. Although we disagree with articles 4-9 and 14, we agree with the rest, therefore we will try to change the law back in the future. |
| Date | 09:35:41, September 04, 2017 CET | From | Alleanza Radicale - NCD | To | Debating the P.d.l 07/4266 Economic, Infrastructure and Welfare Manifesto of the Alternativa Istaliana |
| Message | Malik Astori, Leader of LP: "Mr Orio, LP would have expected CC to vote in favor of such bill, but we are really really disappointed to see also FR vote in favor. With over 30% of the parliament void, you, as well as the other parties which are voting in favor, are profiting of this situation for personal goals. For this reason, after such bill, there will be many to do to reverse a bill which undermines heavily the economic stability of our citizens as well as their security, deciding to devolve to the private the security of our homes and places of work. What if someone have not the money to pay the firemen intervention? After this bill, LP it is forced to put an end to the decennal cooperation with the right-wing parties to bring banck order and first of all to bring back the rights of our citizens and workers which this bill will undermine drammatically." |

| Message | Vittoria Nacon: This bill embodies the capitalist, conservative ideas that crush all social security systems we have and gives all citizens who work their guts off for an already deplorable wage a giant slap in the face. |

| Random fact: "OOC", "IC" and "IG" are commonly-used acronyms in Particracy. "OOC" refers to comments, discussions and actions which are out-of-character, meaning they are done player-to-player rather than party-to-party. "IC" refers to in-character interactions (ie. party-to-party). Similarly, "IG" means in-game, although this term may also simply refer to what happens in the actual game interface, as opposed to on the forum or elsewhere. "RP" just means "role-play". |
