| Message | Why? normally scheduled elections are coming up shortly. Is there something important that needs discussed? I'm happy not having a real voice until then. |
| Date | 07:21:16, May 30, 2007 CET | From | United Republics Party | To | Debating the Call for early elections, October 2411 |
| Message | The Democratic Conservative Party hasn't logged on in days. The Nationalist Party has no honor in blocking my cabinet or new elections. |
| Date | 08:06:07, May 30, 2007 CET | From | Free Lodamun | To | Debating the Call for early elections, October 2411 |
| Message | In order to best serve the 5 Kingdoms, Free Londamun needs actual seats in parliament. Holding elections as soon as possible serves this purpose. In this time of drastic political change, one has to wonder how such a significant party like the DCP can remain silent. |
| Date | 13:20:02, May 30, 2007 CET | From | Radical Nationalist Party | To | Debating the Call for early elections, October 2411 |
| Message | The Nationalist Party want to see this full term seen through, too many early elections have been called of late. |
| Date | 16:16:55, May 30, 2007 CET | From | Free Lodamun | To | Debating the Call for early elections, October 2411 |
| Message | In order to get early elections, we would need the DCP to vote for them. Irony can be so cruel at times. |
| Date | 20:46:22, May 30, 2007 CET | From | United Republics Party | To | Debating the Call for early elections, October 2411 |
| Message | This is not a defense of democracy as the nationalists claim. They a preverting democracy to subvert the will of the majority. |
| Date | 23:30:52, May 30, 2007 CET | From | Lodamun Distributionist Party | To | Debating the Call for early elections, October 2411 |
| Message | Regardless, as the Free Lodamuns have noted: this is a noble, though ultimately futile, effort. |
| Date | 03:24:45, May 31, 2007 CET | From | Party of Rational Interest (RIP) | To | Debating the Call for early elections, October 2411 |

| Random fact: "OOC", "IC" and "IG" are commonly-used acronyms in Particracy. "OOC" refers to comments, discussions and actions which are out-of-character, meaning they are done player-to-player rather than party-to-party. "IC" refers to in-character interactions (ie. party-to-party). Similarly, "IG" means in-game, although this term may also simply refer to what happens in the actual game interface, as opposed to on the forum or elsewhere. "RP" just means "role-play". |
