| Message | Dear Labour Party, We can agree with you on some articles but not all of them. 50% tax is far too much especially when we have enough money to run a strong country. As well as this, taxing religions is very disrespectful We will be voting against this bill Phillip Lui- Yong Prime Minister |
| Date | 18:11:29, January 04, 2018 CET | From | Labour Party | To | Debating the Socialistic reform |
| Message | What about 30%? And the same bill but no religions taxed and you would vote yes? |
| Date | 18:16:12, January 04, 2018 CET | From | Conservative Party (보수당) | To | Debating the Socialistic reform |
| Message | Mr speaker, We still will not agree. 30 is still too much. We are happy with how it is Articles 3,7 and 10 are also concerning. We can't give so much money away and we are already providing help. 7 will turn everyone vegetarian so is actually restricting people and preventing people eating meat needed for a balanced diet and abortion at all times can be dangerous to women and cause harm to them We will still be voting against it Phillip Lui- Yong Prime Minister |

| Random quote: "The moral justification of capitalism does not lie in the altruist claim that it represents the best way to achieve 'the common good.' It is true that capitalism does, if that catch-phrase has any meaning, but this is merely a secondary consequence. The moral justification for capitalism lies in the fact that it is the only system consonant with man's rational nature, that it protects man's survival qua man, and that its ruling principle is justice." - Ayn Rand |
