| Message | Our party would support a latin motto, even accepting power to the people if it was written in latin. |

| Message | "Imperium Populus" the problem with "power" is that there are a lot of different words for it, depending on what type of power. I chose the most political one I could find. some other suggestions: non ducor duco - "I am not led, I lead" ad Lodamun aeternam - "to Lodamun eternal" esse quam videri - "to be, rather than to seem" audemus jura nostra defendere - "we dare to defend our rights" coniunctis viribus - "with connected strength" or "with united powers" -- esp. good for the Five Nations, I think imperium sine fine - "empire without end" ense petit placidam sub libertate quietem - "by the sword she seeks gentle peace under liberty" ex astris scientia - "from the stars, knowledge" memores acti prudentes futuri - "mindful of what has been done, aware of what will be" fac fortia et patere - "do brave deeds and endure" multis e gentibus vires - "from many peoples, strength" provehito in altum - "launch forward into the deep" |

| Message | actually, "regnat populus" seems a little more appropriate to the meaning of "power to the people" - it means "the people rule", which I think is the type of "power" we're trying to get at. |

| Message | I agree with Regnat Populus, proposing :) |

| Message | I still like it better in english(because our people speak english here) but I do know there is not really any other choice so i vote yes. |
| Date | 09:21:37, February 27, 2007 CET | From | Machiavellian Party | To | Debating the New Motto Act |
| Message | Lots of motto's are in latin though, and very few of those countries actually speak latin. |
