| Date | 07:13:53, June 24, 2009 CET | From | Rutanian Restoration Party | To | Debating the Miscellaneous Reforms of the Freedom Party (1) |
| Message | We agree with portions of this bill, however, we cannot support it as a whole. We must vote no. We urge the Freedom Party to refrain from moving bills straight to voting in the future. |
| Date | 11:21:46, June 24, 2009 CET | From | Rutanian Elitist Party | To | Debating the Miscellaneous Reforms of the Freedom Party (1) |
| Message | The stance of the REP is fairly similar to the one of the OP. There are some pieces of legislation which are acceptable but the bill as a whole is not. We would advise the FP to create separate bills for separate policy areas and let them be thoroughly debated in the Parliament. Victoria von Bruckenthal Prime Minister |
| Date | 13:46:03, June 24, 2009 CET | From | Humanist Alliance | To | Debating the Miscellaneous Reforms of the Freedom Party (1) |
| Message | This bill is unsupportable not only because it includes so many unacceptable clauses but also because it was moved straight to voting. |
| Date | 16:28:01, June 24, 2009 CET | From | Rutanian Heritage Party | To | Debating the Miscellaneous Reforms of the Freedom Party (1) |
| Message | We will vote in favour of this legislation because we support the majority of its Articles. In particular, we fervently support Articles 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 10. We applaud the Freedom Party on this much needed legislation and welcome them to Rutanian parliament. |
