| Message | We must ask the representatives from the MDP not to include proposals that are not related, as it makes voting on single bills difficult and often irrational. |
| Date | 14:49:13, December 03, 2006 CET | From | Malivia Democratic Party | To | Debating the Omnibus II of 2323 |
| Message | We have a long tradition of having bills in Malivia that include unrelated proposals..as omnibus bills. I feel its better to have several bills..having a few proposals each that can be negotiated..that it is to have three times as many bills with only one proposal. |

| Message | we can't support this bill. Maybe some parts but not the whole thing. |

| Random fact: In cases where a party has no seat, the default presumption should be that the party is able to contribute to debates in the legislature due to one of its members winning a seat at a by-election. However, players may collectively improvise arrangements of their own to provide a satisfying explanation for how parties with no seats in the legislature can speak and vote there. |
