| Date | 00:13:16, March 01, 2008 CET | From | Scientific Libertarian Party | To | Debating the Call for early elections, July 2539 |
| Message | Gah, we have consistently opposed all calls for early elections, whether they help us or hurt us. We are loath to change our policy now, but we'll think about it. |

| Message | Thanks for the thought. I wouldn't have proposed it but these really are exceptional circumstances. OOC\ Plus this game really wasn't designed for super majorities. Kind of takes the fun the out of things :\ |

| Message | No. I only support early elections every once in awhile. We can wait, the only thing that is going to happen is that corporate interests are soon going to take over our nation. Oh well, the poor people will survive. Poor chaps |

| Message | This isn't like last time. This is a dictatorship. The SLP can pass what the hell it likes despite having no democratic mandate from the people. The right thing to do is to restore democracy. |
| Date | 01:03:34, March 01, 2008 CET | From | Party for a Federal Meritocracy | To | Debating the Call for early elections, July 2539 |
| Message | The right thing to do is to pass all the appropriate legislation while possible. And then watch everyone thrash about trying to "fix" it after the next election. That could be quite entertaining. And could keep all of us occupied for a while. Any idea what happened to our missing party, though? |

| Message | I don't know. I'll ask him later, I have some contact with him out of game. The liberals finally get a damn majority, and he leaves |

| Message | Oh, btw, I supported the call for early elections last time since I kinda new that the liberal parties would get a majority. So yeah, kinda a selfish move |

| Message | This is WRONG! WRONG DAMN IT! And you have the cheek to put democrat in your name. Not that it matters. You have no say in this. Nor me. Nor the SSP or the FMP. |

| Message | folks... even =] |
| Date | 23:10:59, March 01, 2008 CET | From | Scientific Libertarian Party | To | Debating the Call for early elections, July 2539 |
| Message | After much consideration, we have decided that we must remain consistent and vote no. Of course, the other parties will have a majority again after the next election and will be able to undo all the good the SLP has done. |
