| Message | Whaaaaat?! This is the best bill to come out of Kirlawa for a while...but it didn't pass, so the neoliberals still have their iron grip over the suffering people of this nation. |

| Message | I must agree with my comrade from Saridan, Soviets are a, no THE, cornerstone of proletarian self-determination and should be encouraged by any government that claims to represent the people. |

| Message | It hasn't failed yet. And we will keep trying, although this is not a Bill to create worker's soviets. If we could encourage 'Co-operatives', concerns owned by customers/employees/investors, we would. If you foreign commies like this, you'd love the Bill waiting in debate! |

| Random fact: It usually takes up to an hour for election results to generate. During this time, the "Next Election" date is put forward a month, which is confusing. Do not worry! In a short time, the election result will generate and the "Next Election" date will then correct itself. |
