| Date | 22:36:20, February 23, 2006 CET | From | Malivianese Militarist Party | To | Debating the Economic Reform Act of 2190 Part C |
| Message | Again, reasons would be nice. As the largest party, you have the responsibility of leading the Assembly. Perhaps the IRP likes to just stamp things yes or no and be done with it, however the Federation people has a voice and their voice will be heard. Likewise, we also like to hear what the IRP has to say including the reasons they oppose these proposals. |
| Date | 04:01:22, February 24, 2006 CET | From | Imperial Malivian Party | To | Debating the Economic Reform Act of 2190 Part C |
| Message | The IRP feels the vast majority of the proposals are aimed at moving Malivia to a communist state. That is something we cannot allow. Also the MMP continues to talk about the voice of the people and how the IRP refuses to listen to it yet the IRP have hold the majority party. And while we choose not to state our reason it is just our custom like not using RL examples when defending a bill. There have been other parties in the past that do this as well the Peoples Party is an example. It mainly just there no realy point because after a while the MMP will realize that 98% of the time the other parties will have already made up their minds and there not a whole lot anyone else can say to change them. But worry not if we feel passionity enough about a topic ex The Title of Dauphin we will show our reasoning like we did on the first bill to reenstate the Dauphin. |

| Message | Article 2 seems fair but the first article would simply lead to economic chaos and would be unproductive and unpragmatic. |
| Date | 18:27:34, February 24, 2006 CET | From |  Protectorate Party | To | Debating the Economic Reform Act of 2190 Part C |
| Message | We will support this measure. The first is needed to help those in smaller companies gain the rights and privileges of the larger companies. The second is a small modification, which is needed since often people cannot be bothered to vote. |

| Message | We thank the Protectorates for their support. In regards to the IRP: We are not the communist party of the Federation. Also, keep in mind that you are not the majority party of the Assembly (23.38% of the vote hardly constitutes a majority), as you are merely the largest. However, please notice that there are eight other parties within the Assembly besides the IRP. If the IRP wishes not to debate the law, our jobs as representatives of the people, then the IRP is right in calling themselves Imperial. However, again take notice that the Federation is not a monarchy and might does not make right. We will not bow down to you nor will we submit to your ramming of the Imperial Republican Agenda down the throats of the people. The purpose of debate is to get the best laws enacted. Please, do your job for the people if not for the principle. |

| Message | The MMP continues to tell the IRP we are not doing our job. The MMP also states that we are "shoving our agenda down the throats of the people." If the IRP were trying not shove our agenda down the throats of the peole we would not hid it. He choose to state whether we are for or against the stated bill. If the bill is changed and/or we are asked why or we feel the need to explain why then we will. Maybe the MMP should stop shoving its will down the IRP. OOC: You really need to realize this is a game, and you need to get over the fact that I don't want to do things your way. |

| Message | We are only doing our duty for the Federation people. Perhaps the IRP needs to remember how they became the largest party in the Assembly... OOC: I obviously do realize this is a game and you need to stop getting in a tizzy fit over people like me. If you don't want to debate, just don't respond. I can see your no vote just clearly when it does go to a vote. |

| Message | I'm gonna laugh if this bill passes because I can't wait for one company's workers to strike and then the whole nation strikes in sympathy and our nation's economy crumbles... |
