| Message | Of course, higher spending on public services is desired. However, the current state of public finances means that your bill is not entirely possible. Your tax proposals nowhere near match your spending amount. The government will be introducing a budget in the coming weeks. Tobias Strenz, Bundesminister für Finanzen |
| Date | 18:16:13, April 02, 2018 CET | From | Rote Bewegung | To | Debating the Ein Budget für die Menschen |
| Message | This is a failing government. You have been in power for three years and failed to introduce a budget so far. How can you claim to represent the people when you do not do the job you have been elected to do? I will be tabling a bill calling for a vote of no confidence in you. Peter Enkelmann, Aufsteigen! Vorsitzender |

| Message | Mr Enkelmann, Naturally, you are entitled to that course of action. However, a spending bill has not been proposed by me because the current budget has ensured financial stability for Dorvik. Why fix something that isn't broken? Of course, my party would like to see some modest changes to the budget, but being in a coalition government requires compromise from all parties involved in that government. This spending bill and taxation bill you have proposed only reinforces the argument that you are not ready for government. Tobias Strenz, Bundesminister für Finanzen |

| Message | In the space of two elections, Austeigen! has become the second largest political party in Dorvik. Our time in government will come, and when it does, party's who stand for nothing will be forgotten by the voters.That includes yours Herr Strenz! Peter Enkelmann, Aufsteigen! Vorsitzender |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, This budget would improve the services in which it invests but at a very high cost. The budget would explode. We vote against. Benjamin Hauke, Secretary General of the HVV |
| Date | 05:32:33, April 03, 2018 CET | From | Liberale Partei | To | Debating the Ein Budget für die Menschen |

| Random fact: The people in your nation don't like inactive parties. When you often abstain from voting for a bill, they will dislike your party and your visibility to the electorate will decrease significantly. Low visibility will means you are likely to lose seats. So keep in mind: voting Yes or No is always better than Abstaining. |
