| Message | This bill merely restores the status quo ex ante. See: http://classic.particracy.net/viewbill.php?billid=585784 For the bill that this one aims to reverse. |
| Date | 15:49:59, November 06, 2018 CET | From | National Conservative Party | To | Debating the Reapprisal of the National Security Act of 4479 |
| Message | Due to our opposition to article 3, we must oppose. However. if the other three policies were proposed in a separate bill, we would support that bill. |
| Date | 16:38:06, November 06, 2018 CET | From | Agramontian League (AL) | To | Debating the Reapprisal of the National Security Act of 4479 |
| Message | Wouldn't it be easier to support this bill and then overturn Article 3 separately? It seems like bad maths to base your decision on the one article you oppose rather than the three you support! Guillermo Berrocal, Leader of the Agramontian League |
| Date | 22:19:59, November 06, 2018 CET | From | National Conservative Party | To | Debating the Reapprisal of the National Security Act of 4479 |
| Message | Either way, a second bill would be proposed and put to a vote, so we don't see either course of action as better or worse than the other. |

| Random fact: In order for a Cabinet bill to pass, more than half of the legislature must vote for it and all of the parties included in the proposed Cabinet must support it. If your nation has a Head of State who is also the Head of Government, then the party controlling this character must also vote for the bill, since the Head of Government is also a member of the Cabinet. If any of these requirements are not met, the bill will not pass. |
