| Message | Considering that we are missing 159 legislative seats and a Head of State, it is in the best interests of Ikradon that we have a special election as soon as possible to fill these vacancies. |
| Date | 17:46:36, January 23, 2008 CET | From | National Socialist Wester Party | To | Debating the Call for early elections, December 2520 |
| Message | We would consider voting in favour of an early election, but not until current discussions on the new cabinet proposal have been completed. |
| Date | 21:53:30, January 23, 2008 CET | From | Boston Tea Party | To | Debating the Call for early elections, December 2520 |
| Message | it seems to me as if discussions on the cabinet essentially are completed, since enough parties to give the proposal a majority (plus some more) have already spoken in favor. |
| Date | 00:15:03, January 24, 2008 CET | From | Moderate Party of Ikradon | To | Debating the Call for early elections, December 2520 |
| Message | I think the vote of the Ikradonian citizen must be taken serious. Maybe there's a lack of political will to form a government, but that's due to the parties, not to the citizens. |
| Date | 00:47:43, January 24, 2008 CET | From | Socialist Workers Party of Ikradon | To | Debating the Call for early elections, December 2520 |
| Message | So you don't think that they are entitled to a HoS? Or a deciding factor in legislative seats are missing? I think that's more of a party afraid to lose some of it's newly gained power talking. |
| Date | 01:34:24, January 24, 2008 CET | From | National Socialist Wester Party | To | Debating the Call for early elections, December 2520 |
| Message | Seeing as it is clear the current cabinet proposal is probably going through, we see no reason to support this proposal. |
| Date | 01:46:31, January 24, 2008 CET | From | Socialist Workers Party of Ikradon | To | Debating the Call for early elections, December 2520 |
| Message | There is a HoS missing as well as legislative seats missing. We won't gain any seats we know that but for the people you will not call an election? We are without a Presdient. |

| Message | Wester, that doesn't even make sense, since we vote on the cabinet. Only the people can elect a president and fill the 159 vacant seats in the congress. The cabinet proposal and early elections are completely unrelated matters. |
