| Message | In the case of the resignation of Metzinger, we would welcome a new DLP leader from the left wing of the party, and an attempt to form a centre-left coalition government. |

| Message | I urge the Conservatives to change their position; their ministries are preserved, and a less extremist government is achieved. Liam Metzinger, DLP Leader |

| Message | Conservatives should know that we are much closer to them in our views, and quite frankly, why would they align with leftist extremists who think everyone should be forced to be a part of a workers union? Atleast they do not apear to share same views with DLP. They obviously share same patriotic views with us. Actually we have agreed on nearly every bill in last 15 years and voted differently in only two bills during that time. I think that speaks for itself. - Montel Pride Minister of Internal Affairs |

| Message | We have explained our position on unions; we don't need to rehash this decade-old debate again. I think my party agrees with the parties in the proposed coalition that Darnussia should be a country where anyone can pull themselves up by their bootstraps, regardless of their national extraction. The DLA has stated that it does not; they have let fear of foreigners push them away from egalitarian values. We are a moderate party, they are an extremist, xenophobic one. I ask the parties of Darnussia Right; with whom will you form a government? Liam Metzinger, DLP Leader |
| Date | 22:33:20, January 28, 2008 CET | From | Party for the Republic | To | Debating the Cabinet Proposal of February 2523 |
| Message | I'll also refer you to our position of the Union Rights Act, currently on the floor. Liam Metzinger, DLP Leader |
