| Message | Minimum wage has worked in Kaludtan for millennia, up until the LDP cancelled it. When that happened, jobs didn't increase, only wages decreased. We'll support returning to the old order. |

| Message | But it has and it will again. I remember reading a book about a party that erased their nation's history for political convenience, it seems the LDP is using it as a guide. You want to see an out-of-touch party, look in the mirror. The sole mandate of the LDP since it's creation was to attack worker and the poor while destroying the fabric of our society. The only reason your party exists is to oppress the working class and champion the rich minority. The NCP used to be the economically right wing party, but the LDP is so laissez faire that they make us look like socialists. Don't lecture us on being "out-of-touch" when the LDP is the most out-of-touch anti common people party that has ever ruled in Kalistan. You know nothing of our history. You care not for the actions of your party upon the people. You destroy and leave conservatives and socialists to pick up the pieces. Your wear your "support" of liberty as a golden crown at every moment possible and rub that support into the faces of your opponents, but whenever given the chance, you go and attempt to prohibit workers from exercising their human rights. The NCP, along with the socialist parties, on the other hand, have been the last picket fence which stands in the way of your destructive wave. You assisted the New Way party in destroying the economy with hasty privatization, socialists and conservatives worked to fix it and ease the effects upon the people. It was that privatization which dealt a final blow to the effectiveness of the military, but it was socialist and conservative Defense Ministers that built the army back up. It was CAK, RSMoK, and PRG who rose up against the fascist PL regime. What did the LDP and Blue Berets do? They backed the the fascists. It was a socialist President who called for peace, and conservative Deputies who introduced a peace accord to end the civil war while the liberal government scurried around to ensure their amnesty and inclusion in a newly formed cabinet. When the NCP proposed three omnibus under the impression that they wouldn't pass, the LDP went ahead and sacrificed social libertarianism in order to privatize the rest of the economy, which destroyed three important industries and left hundreds of thousands homeless. The NCP quickly worked to right this wrong and introduced their own public relief program and a national relief program with the support of UKWF Deputies while the LDP sat back and laughed at the flames. The only good thing of significance done by the LDP is the fact that they managed to united conservatives and socialists against them. If you dare label the NCP as out-of-touch despite the history and policies of the LDP, then we'll dare to leave the government. Cooperation between our two parties is done for now. Our ministers will resign, you crawl to the UKWF and Centrist party and beg them for for support, but we're over with. |
| Date | 22:43:47, April 13, 2019 CET | From | United Kalistani Worker’s Front | To | Debating the Minimum Wage Act |
| Message | The UKWF wholeheartedly supports both the Minimum Wage proposal and the NCP’s statement. The LDP seems single-mindedly intent on burning Kalistan to the ground, and we will not stand idly by while it happens. We will be organizing strikes and protests until this bill is passed. The LDP can see if the Centrist Party is foolish enough to align with them, but we will be having no part in a sitting government that does not align their interests with the people and workers of Kalistan. |
| Date | 04:18:47, April 14, 2019 CET | From | Centrist Party | To | Debating the Minimum Wage Act |
| Message | This bill needs to urgently pass. With the votes of UKWF, NCP, and us the CP we will pass this bill and give our citizens a better wage and thus a better life. |
