| Message | Despite the Presidency being a weak post, the URP wants a return to a KF presidency so the CCA can be included in a unity government under the rule of parties committed to continued democratic principles. The URP will not run a candidate if an early election is held and plans to endorse the Kebe Front. |

| Message | Publicly announcing plans? Is the URP in need of recruitment? We are very impressed with your double standards. And don't even go with your rhetoric, it's on the record. |

| Message | I'm unsure what double standards the LP speaks of. I doubt the Liberals can pass a cabinet through a Parliament united against it, so what point is there in continuing the LP Presidency except to exclude the CCA from what continues to be a unity government with broad political and popular support? |

| Message | We are certain the United Republic Party has not forgotten that they spewed tons of criticism against us when we proposed early elections to withdraw our support for a certain political party. Lucky for you, we don't go down to your despicable and unlikable level. |

| Message | I think the LP does not understand that the URP is not opposed to all early elections just those which the LP uses to subvert majority rule. Clearly the LP wanted new elections last time to hold on to the Presidency to prevent what was a clear majority in Parliament from approving a unity government. If the LP recalls, the election in which it endorsed the Kebe Front was itself an early election that the URP agreed to call at the request of the LP. I understand that the Liberals have used endless elections, but thankfully that time has passed. I think the current case is much different since the Liberal President has no power because its enemies are unlikely to approve a Liberal cabinet. Continuation of the current Presidency only serves to exclude the CCA from the cabinet which I am sure is a Liberal ploy to portray itself as a victim and ally of the CCA while vilifying the current cabinet as anti-CCA due to its no vote on the LP government. The fact is that the CCA should join Lodamun's unity government which is only possible by removing the Liberal President. |

| Message | Isn't that rhetoric beautifully constructed? Unfortunately, no ones believes you. |
