| Message | OOC: There seems to be a problem with the date. I didn't see a way to change it when it was being proposed... Is there a way to fix this...? |
| Date | 17:35:48, November 16, 2017 CET | From | Dundorfnationale Volkspartei | To | Debating the FDGB Campaign Agenda—Economic and Military |
| Message | The KHU understands that this is a manifesto but in future could we try and group bills so that the proposals all involve a similiar policy area. As a pacifist party we are opposed to the reintroduction of conscription. We prefer a mixed economy, although we see merit in article three if it was to be proposed separately. ooc: I wouldn't worry about it, the date for date created doesn't have any real impact, its the date that it goes to vote that is relevent. |

| Message | May be art 5 and 6 can be left out. Otherwise, the SED agrees. |

| Message | We here at the FDGB acknowledge the SED's recommendation for revision of Articles five and six. We have however, still chose to keep such articles in, but change the proposals to a more moderate stance. |
| Date | 21:18:36, November 16, 2017 CET | From | Metzistische Volkspartei | To | Debating the FDGB Campaign Agenda—Economic and Military |
| Message | Correction: The FDGB could not make a consensus on a more moderate version of Article 5. As such, the original proposal stays. |
| Date | 03:44:52, November 17, 2017 CET | From | Demokratische Partei Dundorfs | To | Debating the FDGB Campaign Agenda—Economic and Military |
| Message | We would support articles 3, 4 and 6, all pertaining to stronger national defence. Unfortunately your economic ideology, specifically the re-nationalisation of key industries, is as harmful as it is costly, and runs counter to our party's core beliefs. |
| Date | 17:12:00, November 21, 2017 CET | From | Sozialistische Einheitspartei Dundorfs | To | Debating the FDGB Campaign Agenda—Economic and Military |
| Message | We thank our comrades. The SED accept your adjustments. |
