| Message | Mr Speaker, This bill is horrendous, this shall not pass. The capitalists are again in oppressing the poorer and establishing their fetish on how to enslave people in the name of economic growth. How funny of them, all they care is profits, while they overlook the fact that capitalism itself is flawed and unsustainable and the source of all economic crises. If we would had ruled, we would had made sure that economic crises would never occur like this. We propose the Liberals to rethink the policies. Chairman of NSU, Oscar Gayoso |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, We agree with the syndicalists. Slavery in the name of economic growth truly would be atrocious and utterly immoral. It is about as immoral as letting anyone not of noble birth have anything to do with leading Lodamese armies, although, we understand that this is a special case as there really is almost no Presidiumite "Lodamese army" left to lead and as such this part of the bill is mostly of symbolic value. Dismas XXI Marcellus-Grönewald-Dauxus, the [questionably legitimate] Prime Minister of [at least some areas] of Lodamun |
