| Message | Mr. Chairman, While the All-Trigunian Communist Party agrees that every man and woman be entitled to their labor, we do not wish for children to be taking their education in part-time shifts. Once more, as internationalists we support the right of foreigners across Terra to be held to the same standard as nationals. It is also of note that a massive hike in sales tax for essential items as food and clothing is absolutely horrendous for the proletariat. The Radical Communist Party’s proposal of making strikes illegal is frankly disgusting to the working class. It is the right of the proletariat to strike if they feel that their conditions are not satisfactory. However, despite our objections, we do agree on the banning of stock exchanges, but due to the other proposals the RCP has introduced, we cannot accept this bill to be passed within the legislature. |

| Random fact: By default the head of government is the ultimate authority within a national government. In general terms, heads of government are expected to consult with cabinet colleagues (including those from other parties) before making significant decisions but they remain responsible for government action. |
| Random quote: "Those who are responsible for the national security must be the sole judges of what the national security requires. It would be obviously undesirable that such matters should be made the subject of evidence in a court of law or otherwise discussed in public." - Unattributed member of the the House of Lords on the removal of trade union rights |
