| Message | A fitting change. |
| Date | 03:11:34, October 23, 2007 CET | From | Federal Independent Party | To | Debating the Senate Wraden Bill |

| Message | We are very keen to know what position the Worker's Party holds on this debate? Sir Thomas Hill, Supreme President. |
| Date | 12:32:25, October 23, 2007 CET | From | Workers Party | To | Debating the Senate Wraden Bill |
| Message | Our position is that it has always been: this is a minor question, the Senate shouldn't wast its time with it. What changed is our way to avoid this problem. Since nothing is going to stop the bourgeois parties from bickering about it, we vote yes to see if the issue is over as quickly as possible, so that we can face the real problems of Solentia, and concentrate our forces in fighting the rise of fascism in Solentia. Our main enemy, at this moment, isn't the Federal Independent Party, nor even the CMP. Our enemy are the terrorists olive-shirts. We urge the CMP to stop protecting this dangerous and murderous movement, and turn back to sane politics. |

| Message | Point of order! Point of order! How long will the Senate continue to put up with the slander from the distinguished fellow of the Worker's Party? We demand that there be either level charges against us or censor the WP Senator for speaking out of order and making slanderous charges against our party and our party. |
| Date | 19:46:01, October 23, 2007 CET | From | Workers Party | To | Debating the Senate Wraden Bill |
| Message | "The distinguished fellow of the Workers Party" is a Senator elected by the vote of the Solentian people. The fascist senator is again trying to pass their mutinous agitation as a defence of order. The order, senator, is the freedom of each senator to say what she or he thinks is more convenient for those who elected her or him. |

| Message | Gentlemen please, keep to the issue at hand. We note all allegations made in this chamber and shall to it, that any form of terrorist is NOT protected by a Solentian party. Thnak you. Sir Thomas Hill, Supreme President. |

| Message | Evidently, senator, we DO have the right to "slander". Donovan Morales - Workers Party Senate Leader |
| Date | 02:43:13, October 24, 2007 CET | From | Meritocratic Alliance | To | Debating the Senate Wraden Bill |
| Message | The comments made in this chamber will be remembered, and there will be an accounting. |
| Date | 04:54:19, October 24, 2007 CET | From | Workers Party | To | Debating the Senate Wraden Bill |
| Message | See, senator... threats are a worse crime than slander. But the point, in a democracy, is that representatives of the people cannot be accused of speech crimes. We must be able to say what the common citizen cannot. Donovan Morales - Workers Party Senate Leader |
