From | Bachelor Party | To | Debating the Budget proposal of November 2192 | Message | We will support, and we believe that our economic stimulus initiative should also assist in correcting the deficit. We will cast our yes vote, once this bill goes to voting, and hope that after April 2193 we Rexerians will have at least some seats in the directorate so our vote will make a difference. |

From | Roman Imperialist Party | To | Debating the Budget proposal of November 2192 | Message | Civics are you TRYING to keep our nation in a deficit? You are nothing more than an obstructionist who does NOTHING BUT HARM ZARDUGAL. This bill MUST pass in order to get us OUT of the deficit! |

From | Bachelor Party | To | Debating the Budget proposal of November 2192 | Message | Check the opinions of the people. The people want limited government, greater personal liberty, more jobs in the private sector. I know that sometimes representing the people means doing what they want, and sometimes it means doing what is right despite what the people want. But if the people don't want the government to be big daddy, then why force it on them? |

From | Bachelor Party | To | Debating the Budget proposal of November 2192 | Message | Well, because maintaining an able military is actually one of the functions that government is required to provide to its people. Safeguarding the environment is great, and we're not against it, but it is a function that has been tacked on to government, separate and apart from the act of actually governing. It's nice if we can do it, but when our people are unemployed, and environmental restrictions on the companies that hire workers place limits on the operations they can engage in, frankly, we think relaxing - not completely eliminating - those restrictions is something we need to get Zardugalians working again. |

Random fact: Cabinet ministers who disagree seriously with the head of government would usually be expected to resign. Parties within the cabinet may attempt to manoeuvre to replace the head of government though, for example by proposing a new cabinet bill or voting for an early election. |
