| Date | 02:06:55, January 27, 2007 CET | From |  Fair Capitalism Party | To | Debating the Federalism |
| Message | Researchers haave very quickly realised that certain clauses in this bill, especially some mentioned above, would have a significant negative impact on the ICP's success, destroying their visibilities. It is therefore with deep regret that for the first time since the formation of the NAC it seems we won't be voting with the ICP. |

| Message | MLF has voted against the Federalism Bill because more of its articles are anti-freedom than pro. However I would dconsider it more barbaric to make children starve because they cannot afford food than letting them work to buy food. |
| Date | 00:40:25, January 28, 2007 CET | From | Independent Capitalist Party | To | Debating the Federalism |
| Message | In protest of the underhanded tactic of the TBP, we not only vote yes but the entire ICP cabinet has resigned. Let's see how Aloria functions with half of a cabinet. |
