| Message | The Berosian Party are shortly to be joining the Likaton Fascist Front? |
| Date | 18:07:39, August 15, 2008 CET | From | Berosian Party | To | Debating the The Nationalism Act |
| Message | Only after the Throne of Immeressen does. |
| Date | 18:29:53, August 15, 2008 CET | From | Commonwealth Workers Army | To | Debating the The Nationalism Act |
| Message | "Why would WE join the Fascist Front? This kind of nationalist politics is exactly the opposite of our agenda. We have open borders, and open arms. This is a Berosian agenda - but it could easily have come from the LFF playbook." --Avar Akkad Avara |
| Date | 18:37:39, August 15, 2008 CET | From | Berosian Party | To | Debating the The Nationalism Act |
| Message | "The Throne of Immeressen might eventually realize their true colours and see what they have wrought across our nation. They have eliminated religious freedom, suppressed our citizens' rights to defend themselves, and have ignored their cries for freedom. The ToI might view themselves as open, but they are far from it. It seems that the ToI have begun to fear our people, which is a good thing. The bad thing is, they want the people to fear them." Chip Parker Leader of the Berosian Party |
| Date | 21:39:29, August 15, 2008 CET | From | Commonwealth Workers Army | To | Debating the The Nationalism Act |
| Message | "Why would we fear The People? We - of all parties, have always been the Voice of The People. We've been decried as populists, we've been attacked for pandering. This may be the first time it's ever been suggested that we're somehow OPPOSED to The People. Likatonia IS an Immeressent nation, whether the Interloper Regime likes it or not. The People ALWAYS rally around The Allfather. We'll not apologise for representing Immeressen or His People." --Avara Akkad Avara |
| Date | 00:36:00, August 16, 2008 CET | From | Permissive Social Union | To | Debating the The Nationalism Act |
| Message | A good start. Mind you, we might have to soon start holding joint party functions with the Berosians. We may consider further legislation in this area. |
