| Message | I proposed this bill for the same reasons the Imperial Party propsed the 'Less Trite Head of State Title' bill. |
| Date | 01:27:16, April 28, 2005 CET | From | Imperial Party | To | Debating the Legislature Act 2043 |
| Message | I like: Volkskammer or Witenagemot |
| Date | 17:51:12, April 28, 2005 CET | From | RSDP - Democratic Front | To | Debating the Legislature Act 2043 |
| Message | I don't think those would be good titles because the Volkskammer was the name of the legislative assembly of the DDR and Witenagemot means (according to an online dictionary): An Anglo-Saxon advisory council to the king, composed of about 100 nobles, prelates, and other officials, convened at intervals to discuss administrative and judicial affairs. |
| Date | 19:57:13, April 28, 2005 CET | From | RSDP - Democratic Front | To | Debating the Legislature Act 2043 |
| Message | I'd personally prefer 'National Assembly' or 'Chamber of Deputies'. |

| Message | What's wrong with parliament? Parliament is what it is. |
| Date | 21:25:57, April 28, 2005 CET | From | RSDP - Democratic Front | To | Debating the Legislature Act 2043 |
| Message | But 'Parliament' isn't an original name, is it? I feel we should have a more original name. |
| Date | 23:10:58, April 28, 2005 CET | From | Libertarian Alcoholic Par-tay | To | Debating the Legislature Act 2043 |
| Message | If it's an original name we're after, why are you plagiarising a wikipedia article? We'd still be copying another parliament name, it would be no more original. |
| Date | 17:49:02, April 29, 2005 CET | From | RSDP - Democratic Front | To | Debating the Legislature Act 2043 |
| Message | I mean 'original' in Particracy, or at least something that is less common the world of Particracy than 'Parliament'. I also wonder why you refer to referring to a Wikipedia article as plagiarising... |
| Date | 01:53:21, April 30, 2005 CET | From | Imperial Party | To | Debating the Legislature Act 2043 |
| Message | National assembly would be a pleasing title to us. |
| Date | 11:30:14, May 01, 2005 CET | From | RSDP - Democratic Front | To | Debating the Legislature Act 2043 |
| Message | Should I propose 'National Assembly' then? |
| Date | 11:46:41, May 01, 2005 CET | From | Imperial Party | To | Debating the Legislature Act 2043 |
| Message | What do the other parties think of'national assembly' as the title? |
| Date | 14:25:48, May 01, 2005 CET | From | Libertarian Alcoholic Par-tay | To | Debating the Legislature Act 2043 |
| Message | I prefer "parliament". |
| Date | 20:36:34, May 04, 2005 CET | From | RSDP - Democratic Front | To | Debating the Legislature Act 2043 |
| Message | Well, if no one's going to comment on this proposal anymore, I guess it's time to vote. |
