Voting deadline: May 2274
Description[?]:
| We should establish a consensus on morals of society. With the rising individualism in our collective and socialist society we should make sure that noone falls back to egoistic interests. This should prevent the restraints of capitalism that so many hobrazians has suffered under and still exist in the subconcious. We need to get rid of this egoism and restore pure individualism in our socialist society. |

| Message | This is just silly. One cannot legislate morality. By banning both of these vices, a dangerous black market is created where people can only settle disputes through violence. On article number 2, prostitution will still exist in just as much abundance whether it is legal or not. However, criminalization will lead to dangerous working environments for the women, including rape, pimps, and violence. Plus, legalization allows for regulation (e.g. mandantory testing for sexually transmitted diseases, required use of prophylactics, etc.) While we do not condone this actions, we must permit them for the sake of those who will do them regardless. |

| Message | @CSP: We will take care "of those who will do them regardless" with our social system. By creating a public social community and social healthsystems we will get a decrease in the mentioned issues. @UP: We are willing to negotiate if other parties can state their opinion. |
| Date | 14:29:05, August 22, 2006 CET | From | We Say So! Party | To | Debating the Cult of the individual (again) |
| Message | We support the CSP on this issue and will not accept changes on these issues. Allowing gambling in a limited form in no way is bad for the social conscience, and we see no reasons why prostitution should be made illegal as long as those involved are not forced into doing it, which would be made more likely should these changes be made. |

| Random fact: When you join the game, you will find yourself with only zero seats. That's because your party's representatives haven't been elected yet. You need to establish your party's position on issues by proposing several bills that your party wants passed and sending them to vote. This raises your visibility and if you do it enough, you will win seats at the next election. |
