| Date | 21:03:39, April 23, 2007 CET | From |  Communist Party of Solentia | To | Debating the Relgious Doctrines |
| Message | We oppose article 2, but may support Article 1. We also would like to point out Solentia is currently run by a Single-Party which is of course The People's Part for Salvation of Solentia, we plan to sweep in many reforms, at the same time we will disregard other political party's opinions. Solentia isn't a good choice for a new party. |
