| Message | In response to article 4, 5, 6, 7, and8: Once again, your religion is not the only ones in this country; We Atheists wish to have a say in what happens in our regions, let us make the decision. You flaunt your small government stance only when it suits your aims, but when it gives others rights you go right to the national level to "Preserve the morality" of the nation. You do not have to be religious to be moral. The DMP has been compromising with the right wing of this nation for many years now, when do the compromises come for us? We only ask for more autonomy in realm of religious control, to govern the areas where we are the majority the way we wish too. The rest of the bill we agree with, except for articles 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8. Foreman Miloslav Vadik of the Democratic Marxist Party |

| Message | 3, 8 and 7 are totally unacceptable to us. |

| Message | Mr Speaker, The Honourable member for the DMP is incorrect in his assertion that this party uses small government approach only when it suits us. Religion is not an issue that can be devolved or syphoned off to some local authority - it is one of the few policy areas that actually requires central direction. I may also highlight to the DMP that they rarely gain a real actual majority in any province and so their defence of their ability to self-govern is hollow. |

| Message | Must we let the radicals in our Party have access to our weapons again, to show you how much of a majority we really have? We took a more moderate stance to show we are willing to cooperate with the other parties of this great nation, if you are not willing to do the same; then maybe we must resort to violence once more. Foreman Miloslav Vadik of the Democratic Marxist Party |
| Date | 05:20:12, May 24, 2009 CET | From | Nrzi Prta (Democratic Party) | To | Debating the Monogomy Act |
| Message | We would like to asked both parties to seeks compromise on this matter. There is absolutely no needs to resort to violence during this time of uncertainty from Beiteynu Civil War. We of the Democrat Party are in favour of article 1, 2, and 5. For the remaining articles, we understand the ONCP feelings to strengthen our national religion during this time of threat from Jewish propaganda, but urge them to reconsider a more moderate stand. |
| Date | 23:00:53, May 24, 2009 CET | From | One Nation Conservative Party | To | Debating the Monogomy Act |
| Message | It is an outrage and an affront to the democratic stability of this nation for a political group to threaten violence and death towards the Pontesian population. Unless the DMP withdraws its threat, we can see no future for the so called unity government. |
| Date | 01:49:48, May 25, 2009 CET | From | Democratic Marxist Party (BIC) | To | Debating the Monogomy Act |
| Message | We only threaten because our interests are being pushed to the sidelines, we do indeed wish to continue peaceful cooperation but if our interests are not protected as well; then we see no reason to stay quiet. We will withdraw the threat when the ONCP is willing to compromise. Foreman Miloslav Vadik of the Democratic Marxist Party |
| Date | 05:43:35, May 25, 2009 CET | From | Nrzi Prta (Democratic Party) | To | Debating the Monogomy Act |
| Message | We propose that the ONCP propose article 1,2,3,7 and 8 as a compromise in our unity cabinet, we feels that the ONCP current religion stand maybe too strong for the Pontesian Dynastic Empire. It maybe possible to achieved that in the future, but perhaps a more moderate stand may suited Pontesi better. We also call for an immedeate withdrew of all threat from DMP, there is no time when violence is a solution to political battle and we may not be able to work with parties that use violence as a political weapon. |
| Date | 06:27:36, May 25, 2009 CET | From | Democratic Marxist Party (BIC) | To | Debating the Monogomy Act |
| Message | So be it. We will withdraw all threats, as a show of good faith to our fellows in the Democrat Party. We just hope the ONCP will be so kind as to partake from your wisdom on the idea of compromise. But I must say, on the topic of violence as a political weapon; our Party founder and 1st Foreman Warren Jarol once said that "They can ignore your words, but they can't ignore your bullets." Foreman Jarol believed that violence is always necessary when others are not willing to listen or compromise. Foreman Miloslav Vadik of the Democratic Marxist Party |

| Message | We have listened intently to the debate and as we consider ourselves the party of reason, have adjusted the bill accordingly. This bill is now all about restoring dignity to Pontesian women. |

| Random quote: As for rape, of course, that is a direct consequence of the capitalist system of oppression. Capitalism relies on fuelling division and resentment to sustain itself, and so it sets men against women, race against race and so on. Men rape women because they are being oppressed by capitalism, so they take it out on women. Under Communism, there will be no rape, because there will be a full and natural harmony and equality between the genders. ~ Friedrich Pfeiffer General Secretary of the Dorvish Communist Party |
