| Message | We will not support taxing corporations less than individuals. |
| Date | 04:29:45, January 23, 2008 CET | From | Normand Pluralist Party | To | Debating the CP.0002.2520 Conservative Party Election Platform |
| Message | We could potentially support certain provisions of this bill, but many dislike us. Particularly lowering the corporation tax, forbidding recreational drugs outright, and not regulating prostitution. |
| Date | 04:33:47, January 23, 2008 CET | From | 帝国公明党 (Teikoku Kōmeitō) | To | Debating the CP.0002.2520 Conservative Party Election Platform |
| Message | Article 1; We approve. (Child benefits) Article 2; We are against. Article 3; We are vehemently against, the death penalty is barbaric and immoral. Article 4; We are opposed. This would only make it unsafe for ladies and gentlemen of the evening in their profession both health wise and environment wise. Article 5; Never! The government has no business telling people what they can and can't do with their bodies. Article 6; We are against, we should give aid to all refugees, regardless. Article 7; Same as with article 5. |

| Message | Please split this into multiple bills. First, it would allow for other parties to fine-tune their politics, and would, if I'm not mistaken, give each proposal a bigger impact on your own leanings. At any rate, we approve of child benefits, and oppose all other articles. |
| Date | 14:42:35, January 23, 2008 CET | From | Conservative Party | To | Debating the CP.0002.2520 Conservative Party Election Platform |
| Message | Oh. Good point, SCP. Umm ... damn. How do you cancel a bill? |
| Date | 23:10:28, January 23, 2008 CET | From | Revolutionary State Socialist Party | To | Debating the CP.0002.2520 Conservative Party Election Platform |
| Message | At this stage you can't, unfortuantly. And, indeed, some of these things we'd vote yes for seperatly. |
| Date | 16:56:08, January 24, 2008 CET | From | Conservative Party | To | Debating the CP.0002.2520 Conservative Party Election Platform |
| Message | Which articles does the USMC support? |
| Date | 17:17:33, January 24, 2008 CET | From | 帝国公明党 (Teikoku Kōmeitō) | To | Debating the CP.0002.2520 Conservative Party Election Platform |
| Message | I'm guessing he would support 3 and 6, but since he's the one who truly knows he'll have to tell us, just saying. |
