| Message | We strongly oppose. |
| Date | 19:04:30, December 02, 2008 CET | From | Party One | To | Debating the Capital Punishment |
| Message | We could support, though we don't favor decentralization in most instances. Frontier Party's "Public Crucifixion: A Salve for an Injured Nation" campaign may not have won us many new admirers in the last few elections, but we remain committed to the just and compassionate practice of putting as many SAridanian criminals to their fitting demise as befits the economy. |
