| Message | This is something I don't like: to put so many articles in one bill... I support article 1,3 and 4, but oppose the rest.. So I vote No now, but as I said I'm supportive to some reforms. |
| Date | 15:21:01, September 20, 2007 CET | From | Conservative Party | To | Debating the The General Reform Bill of 2458 |
| Message | I only support article 1. |
| Date | 16:53:14, September 20, 2007 CET | From | Party for the Republic | To | Debating the The General Reform Bill of 2458 |
| Message | We can't pass any reforms with the current government in power, though; the time for political wrangling over bills is when one has a chance of establishing real reform. Until then, we must let the Darnussian people know where we stand, and a large General Reform Bill is a good way to do that. |

| Message | There's some merit to that. The voters still perceive my party to be moderately secular. |
