| Message | The AFP is in full support of articles 4 and 2, although we are wary that a bill with article 2 may not pass the Senate. We also are split as a party on a minimum wage, but we would be able to support the minimum wage clause if child benefits are devolved to local governments. |
| Date | 21:54:13, September 18, 2017 CET | From | Union of Progressive Forces | To | Debating the Economic Fairness Bill 4274 |
| Message | We will abstain because we don't support some articles. |
| Date | 21:37:44, September 19, 2017 CET | From | Parti Libertaraidd Newydd (PLN/NLP) | To | Debating the Economic Fairness Bill 4274 |
| Message | Article two is ridiculous, but other than that we are in full support, and will back this bill. Whilst we understand the premise behind prioritising Alorian jobs, we cannot prevent foreign nationals from working here. There are some who actually do work hard. Whilst we need to crack down on those who do not, it would be detrimental for our economy for this legislation to last. Emrys Reinhallt Leader of the PLN/NLP |

| Random fact: Players have a responsibility to differentiate between OOC (out-of-character) and IC (in-character) behaviour, and to make clear when they are communicating in OOC or IC terms. Since Particracy is a role-playing game, IC excesses are generally fine, but OOC attacks are not. However, players must not presume this convention permits them to harass a player with IC remarks that have a clear OOC context. |
