| Message | No! We must never allow the Head of State to be an all powerful being devoid of any political or social duties! We must hang these fascists! We must destroy and slit the throats of the monarchists. We must rape and burn the children of oligarchs! Nothing but freedom, nothing short of absolute preservation of our rights. The Peoples Preservation Front seeks to save the people. We must not take such hasty jumps and remove our rights to elect our leaders. The government must fear us. The government must fear the PPF. Other parties should support freedom, should support liberty, should support love and unity and stability. They should support the PPF. |

| Message | So it is okay to take away the Freedom of Religion. It is okay to take away the Freddom to Protest the Government. It is okay to take away the Freedom from Discrimination. Yet it is not okay to have a constitutional monarchy...? The PPF really must get it's ideals sorted. |

| Message | You are removing the peoples right to choose their leaders fairly and democraticaly. The ignorance of the MDP is astounding. We try to take away none of the peoples rights. We try to remove the fascists rights. We try to protect the peoples rights. All the bills we have proposed have a fascists-only clause in them. |

| Message | "A fascist plot!? How is installing a constitutional monarchy fascist?" It pretty weird just after we said there was a fascist plot against the Republic, you guys decide to do away with the Republic! Al'Badara is a REPUBLIC! Al'Badara has been a REPUBLIC for thousands of years! Installing the foreign ideology of monarchy is a clear sign of fascist aggression against the national character of the United Majatran REPUBLIC of Socialist Al'Badara! |
