| Date | 17:24:28, November 30, 2007 CET | From | Parti Communiste de Rildanor | To | Debating the Loi De Prohibition 2493 |
| Message | PSC is extremely interested in seeing that this Act passes. We will not put it to a vote until a majority is assured, so we are certainly interested in compromise where necessary. Our hope is to bring all parties together on the basis of our revulsion to these practices. Christian Rildanor must stand united against this kind of immorality. |
| Date | 19:34:08, November 30, 2007 CET | From |  Front Canrillaise | To | Debating the Loi De Prohibition 2493 |
| Message | We wouldn't go as far as to ban all of these but to heavily regulate them. As it stands, we will not support this bill as we are already supportive of the current laws. |
| Date | 01:27:18, December 01, 2007 CET | From | Front Nationaliste Royaliste | To | Debating the Loi De Prohibition 2493 |
| Message | We can lend our support to Articles 2, 3, and 8. The remainder of this bill is simply unacceptable to the FNR. |
| Date | 21:05:52, December 01, 2007 CET | From | Parti Communiste de Rildanor | To | Debating the Loi De Prohibition 2493 |
| Message | PSC is disappointed that this Act stands no chance of passing without weakening its integrity. We will therefore put it to a vote as it is for now, and hope for greater support in the future. |
