| Date | 18:28:54, March 15, 2007 CET | From | Labour-Energy Party | To | Debating the Freedom Reforms VIII |
| Message | This contradicts your label, Freedom Party. There is nothing about freedom in any of these proposals, and their introduction puts serious strain on our relationship. |
| Date | 18:38:10, March 15, 2007 CET | From | Centrist Party | To | Debating the Freedom Reforms VIII |
| Message | We will not support any of these three proposals either. |
| Date | 19:09:17, March 15, 2007 CET | From | Centrist Party | To | Debating the Freedom Reforms VIII |
| Message | The Centrist Party would like inquire of the Freedom Party why it believes each of these three bills will benefit the nation. |
| Date | 19:20:09, March 15, 2007 CET | From | Freedom Party | To | Debating the Freedom Reforms VIII |
| Message | 1) would benefit our nation as we would have a free reserve of workforce.So costs for businesses will be lower and the slaves can do jobs we dont wanna do for free. 2 and 3)The party believes that a marriage is between a man and a woman and rejects all ideas of homosexuality.Also studies have shown that children are better brought up by two loving parents of opposite sex. We are called the Freedom party because we strive for freedom for the majority.For example we have lowered taxes giving more money to spend on what they wish.Tried to introduce lower luxury taxes so people have the freedom to buy these goods.We are freeing people from political correctness. I agree we may have renegoiate our coalition. |

| Date | 22:54:03, March 15, 2007 CET | From | Labour-Energy Party | To | Debating the Freedom Reforms VIII |

| Date | 23:12:58, March 15, 2007 CET | From | Radikalna Partija | To | Debating the Freedom Reforms VIII |
| Message | perhaps you liberals should next time reconsider forming an alliance with the imperialists. |
| Date | 23:18:05, March 15, 2007 CET | From | People's Mujaheddin | To | Debating the Freedom Reforms VIII |
| Message | We support all three proposals. |
| Date | 01:56:56, March 16, 2007 CET | From | Labour-Energy Party | To | Debating the Freedom Reforms VIII |
| Message | These proposals aren't about imperialism, they're about domestic oppression. And for the LEPs part, we have always voted on our own convictions, and we have supported Freedom's relaxation of the restrictions on the people. We feel, however, that this is not only wrong, but contrary to Freedom's goal of a less-restrictive government. It is clearly based on personal prejudice, and has nothing to do with legitimate policy. |
| Date | 09:16:03, March 16, 2007 CET | From | Radikalna Partija | To | Debating the Freedom Reforms VIII |
| Message | and what is imperialism other than domenistic opression? freedom party always stood for this goals. if i were him i'd be crying for new elections right now, just like he did a few mandates back in our goverment. |
| Date | 14:24:25, March 16, 2007 CET | From | Centrist Party | To | Debating the Freedom Reforms VIII |
| Message | Imperialism is foreign oppression, not domestic |
| Date | 15:20:37, March 16, 2007 CET | From | Freedom Party | To | Debating the Freedom Reforms VIII |
| Message | There is nothing imperialistic about my proposals put forward.I have proposed freedom for the majority of people in Al'Badara, which i have listed.But we are also a nationalist as well as a liberal party. I agree if this was to happen to the radicals and neosocialists i would be screaming for new elections.It was only because nothing was being passed, as you had a minority government and the majatran party were pretty much inactive that the freedom party demanded new elections. These proposals are only restrictive to only a minority of our popualation will be affected by this. In proposal 1) No one in our country will be affected it will only affect our enemies. Btw there is a chance for new elections but our coalition has stayed strong.Plus we agree on most proposals. |
| Date | 16:50:53, March 16, 2007 CET | From | Centrist Party | To | Debating the Freedom Reforms VIII |
| Message | Even though the Freedom Party claims that it is the party of freedom for the majority, rather than freedom for all, proposals 2 and 3 and nothing to do with granting greater freedoms to the majority. It is about taking them away from the minority. The majority benefits no freedoms from these proposals. |
