Description[?]:
| Mr. Speaker, The EP proposes to regulate all of our major industries, and wants to take back control over our country.

| Message | Mr. Speaker, First I want to applaud the Ecosocialist party for taking steps that will improve our society in numerous ways. However, we do have some critical remarks. Article 3 concerning gated communities is something we do not support. We would rather not see any gated communities, but if they are to be allowed, it should not be a job the government should make its hands filthy with. Furthermore, as we are pacifists, we do not believe in Article 4 concerning the defense industry, however, the latter article will not determine our support of it. If the Ecosocialists are willing to remove article 3 concerning gated communities, we are willing to support this bill. Leon Vance Economy & Finance spokesperson PSP |
| Date | 15:50:17, May 30, 2018 CET | From | Liberal Progressives | To | Debating the Regulate And Reclaim Our Nation |
| Message | Mr. Speaker, The Liberal Progressives could not disagree more about every single aspect of this bill. It was recently said to us not to 'fix something that is not broken' yet that is exactly what this bill would try and do. It is an immense power grab for the government that we simply cannot afford. The central government should not get more responsibilities, but fewer. Furthermore, the Liberal Progressives are vehemently opposed to the very concept of gated communities and would spur other parties not to support this bill. Bill Murray, Leader of the Liberal Progressives |

| Date | 16:42:21, May 30, 2018 CET | From | Ecosocialist Party | To | Debating the Regulate And Reclaim Our Nation |

| Date | 17:10:41, May 30, 2018 CET | From | Lodamun Labour Party | To | Debating the Regulate And Reclaim Our Nation |

| Date | 05:26:59, May 31, 2018 CET | From | Lodamese Democratic Progressive Party | To | Debating the Regulate And Reclaim Our Nation |
| Message | Mr. Speaker, The New Green Party of Lodamun agrees with the Liberal Party in that our current system is working out fine. We don't feel the need to completely abolish private industry, especially since that could put a significant strain on our economy. We won't support this proposal. Trevor Takon, NGPoL MP |
