| Message | i had just proposed a bill to enlarge our governement, you oppose that. How can you accuse me (and the PBN) of dictatorship? And do I have use violence, I don't think so... Maybe I'm godless yes, that's the only thing which is correct. |

| Message | The Communists are quite correct, it seems you are the ones who wish to establish the totalitarian state. You wish to base your dictatorship upon an oppressive religious doctrine. I cannot speak for the Communists, but the Bolsheviks wish to establish a State with the working class at it's head, to benefit Jelbania and all of mankind. |

| Message | Noble goal PBN, but this can be reached also with the respect for the freedom of religion and with a peaceful process towards socialism. The socialist state could be created only with an electoral victory and a large popular consensus, obtained with democracy and respect for the other parties of the country. A first step is the support to the cooperative movement , and also the support for your collective farms, very good expression of peaceful socialism. If you agree with this statement we have the same goals....remember the peaceful example of Allende an his cohalition of Unidad Popular. |

| Message | The PBN is not Reformist, we are Marxist-Leninist. Democratic reforms do not fundamentally change the capitalist system or the bourgeois democratic system. Long live socialism, long live People's Democracy! |
| Date | 01:50:41, December 30, 2007 CET | From | Démocrates de la Gauche | To | Debating the Defence against Communism Act |
| Message | We strongly oppose this effort by the FMDP to gain power. The FMDP has gone to far and cannot be trusted. |
| Date | 02:42:09, December 30, 2007 CET | From | Centre Démocratique | To | Debating the Defence against Communism Act |
| Message | We oppose this proposal to remove long-established worker's rights and the freedom to assemble. |
