| Message | It should be voted that this bill is NOT a vote of no confidence, but rather a proposal to return Parliament to full capacity, and allow the people to have all 501 of their representatives at work. Daunte Woodson Chairman Democratic Capitalist Delegation |

| Message | We will support our bill for early elections after these influx of bills have passed. We have worked hard in Parliament to create bills that will reform our nation's laws for the better, and we do not want these early elections to offset such hard work for the people of Telamon. We vote no. |

| Message | We won't bother asking how the TNP will vote... their lack of commitment to democracy will speak for itself soon enough. |

| Message | I am sorry Mr Woodson but this purely politically motivated as your party has a long track record of voting against early elections when the Parliament has not been at full capacity. You are misleading this house as it seems you may have mislead the people of this house and nation over the Migadon Crisis. George Clark, TNP Leader and Telamon President. |

| Message | I'm literally laughing out loud right now, Mr. Clark. The fact that you think this government lied about the Migadon situation proves your utter and pathetic lack of awareness. Look at the nation's messages sir, where the message received from Likatonia can still be seen on page one. Any time my party voted against early elections with empty seats in Parliament, the elections were no more than a year away. I challenge you sir, to expose the occasion where this was not the case.
