| Message | We would ask the S.R.N.P. to leave this up for debate if they are willing to work in the spirit of bipartisanship. The F.R.P. isn't entirely fond of this proposal however, we do very much like a majority of the articles within the bill and would be willing to support it on certain grounds. Is the S.R.N.P. willing to indulge the Senate or shall this be rushed to a vote? Party Spokesman, Ron Seigler |
| Date | 19:16:09, April 19, 2008 CET | From | Meritocratic Alliance | To | Debating the Radnat Agenda 2563 |
| Message | We can leave it up for debate, yes. Senator Howie Jules, SRNP |
| Date | 19:51:01, April 19, 2008 CET | From | National Zeus Party | To | Debating the Radnat Agenda 2563 |
| Message | We have issues with article 2 , you can not force someone to believe in a religion, especially if it is not a religion of their choice and we can not support withdraw from the global emanicipation treaty that just recently was ratified. Other than that we have no objections. Mary Abramov Ingram Party Chairperson |
| Date | 20:31:26, April 19, 2008 CET | From | Meritocratic Alliance | To | Debating the Radnat Agenda 2563 |
| Message | We could remove the position to remove the global emancipation treaty. |
| Date | 20:39:31, April 19, 2008 CET | From | Meritocratic Alliance | To | Debating the Radnat Agenda 2563 |
| Message | ooc: due to game play reasons we seem to not have the ability to remove that, actually. |
| Date | 02:04:49, April 20, 2008 CET | From | Autonomist Party of Solentia | To | Debating the Radnat Agenda 2563 |
| Message | An excerpt of a message received from the SRNP earlier this year: "The treaty of emancipation will pass, and with that we will not attempt to have it removed for the foreseeable future." And already you are trying to overturn it, despite your 'claim' that you wish to remove it from this bill. You could delete the bill and redo the entire proposal, it is not that difficult and you won't lose any of your quota. |

| Date | 08:08:07, April 20, 2008 CET | From | Federal Republican Party | To | Debating the Radnat Agenda 2563 |
| Message | Naah? Eloquence at it's finest! If the S.R.N.P. wishes to continue with their agenda proposals with no coherency involvement we will not be able to or bother in trying to stop the radicals. You could have had the support of others, more than your lackeys anyways had you been thoughtful enough to engage in a more elevated discourse with your peers. "Naah" doesn't quite make the cut. The F.R.P. will abstain or shall vote No should this incomprehensible bill risk of being passed. Then, the F.R.P. shall work to pursue those articles in which we find ourselves in agreement with the S.R.N.P. The F.R.P. as a suggestion would like to inform the S.R.N.P. that pandering for votes is fairly clear to those whom have the ability to form coherent thoughts and clearly; this is what we see out of you here and in the past. Signed, Party Spokesman, Ron Seigler |

| Message | We do not pander for votes. Vote yes or no. Debating is rarely worthwhile. |
| Date | 22:31:53, April 20, 2008 CET | From | Autonomist Party of Solentia | To | Debating the Radnat Agenda 2563 |
| Message | I believe the FRP meant pandering for votes in the senate, but I could be wrong. |
