| Message | Oh really? How many of my bills have passed in Parliament thanks to your monopoly on power? |
| Date | 22:21:19, March 11, 2006 CET | From | Lutheran Nationalist Party | To | Debating the Privatization Act |
| Message | You've only put forward three or four bills that are unrelated to the Lutheran/Shinto thing. If you read the first post in this read, you see the IRP state they will not support article 4. If you had a) removed article 4 or b) asked what the IRP prefferred for article 4, then perhaps this bill would have a chance of passing. |
