From | Neo-Marxist revolutionary Party | To | Debating the Budget proposal of February 2269 | | Message | We of the Neo-Marxist Revolutionary Party do not agree with the proposed increase in expenditure for the Head of Government. Although we do agree with our Honourable Colleagues ideas for increasing expenditure in the service areas and the economy for that can only be good for the country and help to stimulate growth within the industries. |

From | Feline Defense Front | To | Debating the Budget proposal of February 2269 | | Message | The FDF is referring to such a huge and dramatic increase. Our constituents are very curious as to where this funding is coming from, and as such we are not willing to vote yes at this time. In the future we'd like a 48 hour window on all budget proposals. |

From | LiberalDemocraticFreedomTaxAndSpendParty | To | Debating the Budget proposal of February 2269 | | Message | Thefact of the matter is that we had an enormous surplus that was just going unspent by the government, so we decided to match government spending to the money that we were already taking in, which of course, required a large increase in spending. |

| Random fact: Cabinet ministers who disagree seriously with the head of government would usually be expected to resign. Parties within the cabinet may attempt to manoeuvre to replace the head of government though, for example by proposing a new cabinet bill or voting for an early election. |
