| Message | We support all of this except the mandatory religion and no gays in military. We generally would support it if only you had of taken out the mandatory religion. |
| Date | 17:41:06, December 23, 2008 CET | From | Communist Party of Aloria | To | Debating the APP Manifesto |
| Message | Abstain, because this is all over the place. |
| Date | 18:00:45, December 23, 2008 CET | From | Genuine Progress Alliance | To | Debating the APP Manifesto |
| Message | I really suggest that we refrain from these kind of legislations. On the part of the voting parties, it really messes up one's ideology. On the part of the author, it's more prone to getting defeated, and in the process losing the election. I tabulated the legislations from the previous term. APP passed 28 proposals, with around 26 of them wrapped together in 4 different manifestos (8, 8, 6, 4 proposals). Only one manifesto, with 8 proposals, passed, while the others were defeated. And the results of the election apparently reflects the effects, at least in my opinion. |

| Message | We have issueas here that we support, and issues that we don't support... doesn't make sense. Only messes up our political views on the game... and so goes for the APP..... and all other parties. So we abstain! |
