| Message | Absolutely not. The United Democratic Party will do everything in its power to ensure that the citizens of Solentia keep their RIGHTS. If they don't want to engage in these things, then fine; but they have a right to choose to do so... and we are willing to fight for that right. |

| Date | 19:13:20, March 26, 2008 CET | From | Federal Independent Party | To | Debating the Conservative Reform Bill of 2551 |
| Message | We support the reinstating of the position Senate Warden instead of the current title Prime Minister. However, we cannot support any other articles within this bill. Should a separate bill regarding the implementation of the Senate Warden be brought up to debate, we would offer all the support we could muster. FIP Minority Whip Dennis Kucik Jr. |
| Date | 19:49:51, March 26, 2008 CET | From | Autonomist Party of Solentia | To | Debating the Conservative Reform Bill of 2551 |
| Message | The ANF would be in full support of every article presented thus far, except the last, Article 7. This issue has been brought up at least three times in the last year, and each time we have tried very hard to keep the tobacco industry from being FURTHER regulated. |
| Date | 20:06:49, March 26, 2008 CET | From | Conservative Party of Solentia | To | Debating the Conservative Reform Bill of 2551 |
| Message | Once again, the ANF's input is appreciated, and will be considered. Our logic behind the inclusion of article 6 (I dropped an article for the other bill) is the potential risk it may present to the welfare of our nation's youth, who are more impressionable than those with more life experience. While we respect the right of the tobacco industry to market its products as it will, there is a line across which the tobacco industry may cross when it attempts to market a potentially dangerous product to minors. James Devreau, Inner Party Leader |
| Date | 04:06:49, March 27, 2008 CET | From | Solentian Populist Party | To | Debating the Conservative Reform Bill of 2551 |
| Message | Push Article 6 by itself, and change it to " There are certain restrictions on the sale of tobacco products, and only adults can buy them." and you have our support on that. Everything else, we must pass on. |
