Message | We will not support this as we helped establish the second imperial republic which resulted in long lasting peace and prosperity with unity and fellowship. Especially the conflict between FPoH and the HPP were toned down with the initiation of the Second Imperial Republic of Hobrazia. |
Date | 14:26:23, December 11, 2007 CET | From | We Say So! Party | To | Debating the Bill for a Second Republic |
Message | We will not support this bill. We have no concern over this nation being tyrannical, we know that it isn't, and we fail to see the advantage to our people of, once again, renaming the nation and it's elected positions. Moreover, we will not use funds to spend on further bureaucratic expenses, not just renaming the nation but, as this bill intends, to actually increase the number of bureaucrats by adding yet a further layer of government. For a Party that says they want to "bring power to the people" and "reduce government" we do believe the HFP puts rather a lot of government increasing policies forward. |

Message | You both support an Emperor, elected or not. You have no claim to the glorious throne of democracy. |
Date | 17:38:55, December 12, 2007 CET | From | Communist Party of Hobrazia | To | Debating the Bill for a Second Republic |
Message | What is in a name, the title of our proud land has no bearing on the current situation and to change it would be a break with a tradition instituted by our forefathers and would be a great disrespect to our heritage. |
Date | 18:57:43, December 12, 2007 CET | From | First Party Of Hobrazia | To | Debating the Bill for a Second Republic |
Message | The first party is a staunch monarchist party, we would never accept the change of the name, and creation of a republic again. As the saying goes "if it ain't broke don't fix it" |
Date | 11:25:06, December 13, 2007 CET | From | Hobrazian Federalist Party | To | Debating the Bill for a Second Republic |
Message | Monarchy is tyranny. Federalism is the future! |
Date | 14:29:16, December 13, 2007 CET | From | We Say So! Party | To | Debating the Bill for a Second Republic |
Message | Federalism is a broken and inefficient means of government and should not be utilised by any nation. |
