| Message | If you remove the farm article, then we can support this. We believe that families who run small farms shouldn't be forced to join others. |
| Date | 22:05:34, March 12, 2006 CET | From | Commonwealth Workers Army | To | Debating the Nationalisation Bill |
| Message | This is excellent. We shall support with or without the farm amendment... but we encourage the Conservatives to acquiesce to the AM PF recommendation, to give this a better chance of passing. |
| Date | 14:21:24, March 13, 2006 CET | From | Conservative Liberal Party | To | Debating the Nationalisation Bill |
| Message | Altered, also realized that it was probably inconsistant with the previous article in which we promise to aid low income farmers. |

| Random fact: In Culturally Protected nations, special care must be taken to ensure realism is maintained when role-playing a government controlled by an ethnic and/or religious minority. If it is to be supposed that this government is supported by a majority of the population, then this should be plausibly and sufficiently role-played. The burden of proof is on the player or players role-playing such a regime to demonstrate that it is being done realistically |
