| Message | Why change the name? |
| Date | 08:31:54, April 05, 2008 CET | From | United Republics Party | To | Debating the Parliament Change of Name |
| Message | The URP supports changing the name to the Parliament of Free People. Peoples connotates division while people suggests unity. The old nationalist party changed the name to the current one over the objections of the URP, however we believe the current name holds some tradition and should not be thrown aside so easily. |

| Random quote: "Civil disobedience. . . is not our problem. Our problem is civil obedience. Our problem is that numbers of people all over the world have obeyed the dictates of the leaders of their government and have gone to war, and millions have been killed because of this obedience. . Our problem is that people are obedient all over the world in the face of poverty and starvation and stupidity, and war, and cruelty. Our problem is that people are obedient while the jails are full of petty thieves, and all the while the grand thieves are running the country. That's our problem." - Howard Zinn |
