| Message | A tiny step in the right direction, but a step in the right direction nonetheless. |
| Date | 16:34:59, February 27, 2007 CET | From | Jakanian Liberal Socialists | To | Debating the Revised Refugee Act |
| Message | Yes, we feel articles 1 and 3 are far from ideal, but it is better than what we have now. |

| Message | Normally I would not propose such things, I would have personally prefered it if the SLP's refugee act had passed, but I wanted to as much support as possible from the Council (i.e the other minority parties). |
| Date | 01:28:01, February 28, 2007 CET | From | Liberal Democratic Party | To | Debating the Revised Refugee Act |
| Message | This is a drastic improvement from the last Refugee Act which allowed immigrants to enter the nation left and right and stay forever. The Article that disturbed us most was 1, which was mostly why we voted the way we did previously. |

| Message | oh dear a slap on the wrist for me, the resolution was, in my eyes, an informal agreement by those who wished to join it. If you check the voting record then you will see we declined your invitation to enter this agreement. Therefore we do not need to justify our resoning. Look at our manifesto (political leanings) for a description of why we vote the way we do. |

| Random fact: Particracy does not allow real-life brand names (eg. Coca Cola, McDonalds, Microsoft). However, in the case of military equipment brand names it is permitted to use simple number-letter combinations (eg. T-90 and F-22) borrowed from real life, and also simple generic names, like those of animals (eg. Leopard and Jaguar). |
