| Message | With a surplus of nearly 100 billion IKD, do not doubt we can pay for this Act. |

| Message | Dang the co-opting unwitting lackeys of the capitalists! I mean, uh, I should've thought of that. Definitely yes. |
| Date | 14:07:59, September 13, 2006 CET | From | Iqembu Sokusebenzisana Yeningi | To | Debating the Adjusted National Social Safety Net Act |
| Message | Have you seen our new platform? It's downright socialist! Of course, the capitalist wing of the IPC is still there, but the majority of the IPC no longer goes for such policies. (OOC: One of my friends who once played this game, then went inactive, may be interested in coming in to play a split-off capitalist wing of the IPC. If that happened, the party controlled by me would definitely take more of a center-left direction, with potential neurotic bursts of far leftism such as parts of the recent land reform legislation. But the main reason I'm doing that is because it's in-character for Olivares and Fleming as I conceived them originally. That Marxist sleeper cell has finally managed to take control of the IPC! Or, something.) |

| Message | We support. OOC: That sounds pretty interesting, and would probably break the PPI down a bit, so it isn't so sickeningly large. |

| Date | 05:22:55, September 16, 2006 CET | From | Iqembu Sokusebenzisana Yeningi | To | Debating the Adjusted National Social Safety Net Act |
| Message | Just to clarify, this bill does nothing to the minimum wage, but instead increases unemployment benefits. |
| Date | 17:19:35, September 16, 2006 CET | From | Lyika ati Isọdọtun | To | Debating the Adjusted National Social Safety Net Act |
| Message | Ah, yes. Still opposed, though. |
