| Message | The NCC appreciates that the President's party is willing to debate this issue as we also think that this policy should be reviewed. We would prefer that local governments have more say in this discussion by letting them decide. Each part of our country is economically different, so we should keep that in mind. At this time, we will not announce our vote until we see more discussion on this. |

| Message | The NCC previously indicated that they would support this bill in private discussions we would not have proposed it if you had not expressed support. We find this concerning. We will hear the views of other larger parties before proceeding to vote. President Cameron |

| Message | Our apologies to the RCP. It seems that we understood what you mean. This is what you said to us previously: "We would not automatically give anyone nationality we would regulate it with either a test or a skill quote. In fact, some time ago we proposed a quote based on skills, we would also do something similar for working rights for foreigners." From my understanding, this is not a bill about foreign workers coming into the country based on skill - it's whether there is a shortage or not. |

| Message | It’s a shortage of worker which could also imply a shortage of skill. I think that is common sense. We have accommodated your legislation as have the other members of this coalition. We question whether you are able to compromise when you appear to split hairs so much. President Cameron |

| Message | We find that foregein people should not be treathed like living machines and just be accepted iff they work. We should accept everyone iff we need them or not. |
| Date | 17:09:32, October 28, 2021 CET | From | Left Party | To | Debating the Foreign Workers Act |
| Message | The Socials have a fair point there. We should keep the old laws and accept all foreigners to work. It is to our benefit and theirs. |
