| Date | 22:20:28, February 12, 2009 CET | From | Democratic Centrist Party | To | Debating the Democratic Reform Bill |
| Message | We support the idea, but doesn't think it works with the current law, as it says the head of state also chairs the cabinet. |

| Message | Hmm.. don't think so! Bringing back the times when we had a president that was earning lots of money for just living in a palace and giving diners and parties, but not having anything to do to relly earn his money. The President is the symbol of this nation, and HEAD OF STATE, so he has the hard job to actually govern this country. A government doesn't have a CEO that just sit down in his luxury office and does nothing, no he runs the business... same goes for the president! Besides that, giving other parties (ven parties with 0 seats) the power to form a government, that just makes things more chaotic. We then get too many cabinet proposals the whole year long, with a government changing occurly. This is not stable for the country! |

| Message | We have no interest in politicians living in luxury with little to do, in fact all CWP members of parliament are pledged to live on the average wage of an Alorian worker and donate the rest of their salary to a variety of good causes. This bill is about decentralising power, rather than concentrating it in the hands of one individual. |
