From | Spiritualists' National Union | To | Debating the Budget proposal of August 2341 | | Message | Our spending proposals will reduce overall spending and eliminate the current budget deficit, whilst shifting our attention into improving our nation's performance in the vital areas of infrastructure, health and education. |
| Date | 22:19:25, January 08, 2007 CET |
From | Falanges Party | To | Debating the Budget proposal of August 2341 | | Message | Logically, the government should propose a budget proposal. You are not a member of the government SNU (Fortunatly). So basically you should not propose like this bill. |
| Date | 22:36:10, January 08, 2007 CET |
From | Redneck Party | To | Debating the Budget proposal of August 2341 | | Message | Will bill can not pass. Any cut to defence is unacceptable, and any increase is just as unacceptable. Health and Social Services should be cut by at least half, and Education and Culture by 20% or so. |
| Date | 18:24:53, January 09, 2007 CET |
From | Redneck Party | To | Debating the Budget proposal of August 2341 | | Message | Any party that supports such a large cut to Defence is clearly attempting to weaken the Empire for an easy victory in battle for another immoral sodomite government. |
| Date | 18:40:32, January 09, 2007 CET |
From | Covenanters (IA) | To | Debating the Budget proposal of August 2341 | | Message | These defence cutbacks would not be compatible with the RBP's isolationist policies (if you're going to leave the Axis and stand alone, you need the best armed forces you can afford) so I'm sure they'll vote this down. |
| Date | 22:28:04, January 09, 2007 CET |
From | Spiritualists' National Union | To | Debating the Budget proposal of August 2341 | | Message | Our government currently spends nearly a third of its money on defence. Our people have other priorities too, and it is time they were seen to. Our people want prosperity and social progress. They do not want unnecessary wars. |

| 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. |
