| Message | We definitely support article 3, and largely support article 1. We do view article 2 as a bit extreme, but we will support anyway. |
| Date | 11:23:30, February 09, 2007 CET | From | National Conservative Conference | To | Debating the Pro-Unionist Reform |
| Message | We cannot accept such ludicrous legislation. If you wish the industry and economy of this nation to slip and fail,then vote yes and let the workers run amok. We need a firm hand on rebellious workers. |
| Date | 12:44:57, February 09, 2007 CET | From | Revolutionary Anarcho-Nationalist Party | To | Debating the Pro-Unionist Reform |
| Message | Employers do work too you know. More so than the mindless laborers they employ. |
| Date | 13:12:05, February 09, 2007 CET | From |  Democratic Party of Dorvik | To | Debating the Pro-Unionist Reform |
| Message | We agree with the PCPD, this bill would be a huge blow for our nation's economy. The amount of investments would collapse, insecurity amongst enterpreuners raise significantly and major enterprises would start preparations for leaving this country to move somewhere else where hard working, enterpreunership & individuality are respected. This bill would also cause huge increase in bureaucracy where ALL (?) employers would have to ask government's permission to fire workers, no matter if the enterprise is on the brink of bankruptcy! |

| Message | Three is too many? |
| Date | 03:36:44, February 10, 2007 CET | From | Democratic Party of Dorvik | To | Debating the Pro-Unionist Reform |
| Message | It's more likely to get bills passed the lesser number of proposals they include. |
