| Message | Mr Speaker, We agree with spending some of our surplus. However, this bill cuts defence spending and with a foreign power recently threatening war due to our presidential act, it would be naive in the extreme to cut defence spending. |
| Date | 15:41:53, May 08, 2019 CET | From | Neoliberal Party | To | Debating the Budget proposal of June 4572 |
| Message | Mr Speaker, We strongly oppose, the aim of this surplus is to enable tax cuts. |

| Random fact: The people in your nation don't like inactive parties. When you often abstain from voting for a bill, they will dislike your party and your visibility to the electorate will decrease significantly. Low visibility will means you are likely to lose seats. So keep in mind: voting Yes or No is always better than Abstaining. |
