| Message | "Presently sitting Senators already have a mandate to sit. We therefore trust the public's decision until the next election, where the mandate shall be open for further discussion." Alexander Dairnes (C: Nu) Chairman of the CMP |
| Date | 12:30:43, July 14, 2009 CET | From | Sue's Corner | To | Debating the Call for early elections, July 2786 |
| Message | This motion has been presented to the house because of the dysfunctional cabinet. We either need stable government or an election. |
| Date | 12:33:43, July 14, 2009 CET | From | Coalition for National Unity [CNU] | To | Debating the Call for early elections, July 2786 |
| Message | "Perhaps you feel that way and perhaps some of the electorate agree with you. However it would be most inappropriate to strip all Solentians of their Senators and Senators of their seats and force them to face a reelection when their term and mandate are still strong." Alexander Dairnes (C: Nu) Chairman of the CMP |
| Date | 12:43:57, July 14, 2009 CET | From | Sue's Corner | To | Debating the Call for early elections, July 2786 |
| Message | The government is falling apart, we have the ministerial portfolios in a mess, we seriously cannot accept Solentia to continue to be governed in this way. We need this election. |

| Message | "I was under the impression that the only cabinet role that there was disagreement over was that of the Defence portfolio. The rest, all parties and citizens agree are quite clear." Alexander Dairnes (C: Nu) Chairman of the CMP |

| Message | Well i would nomrally agree, however the amount of confusion, change and bills to change the cabinet will naturally cause huge confusion amongst the country who will wish to see their senators dealing with politics, not xcabinet divisions. The CMP are adding further fuel to this disaster by refusing to sit next o certain people in cabinet, who they don't like and being incredibly petty. This shows they have only their own political careers in minds at all times. Lady Gaga |

| Message | "There is no 'disaster' in cabinet, only a temporary interim cabinet appointed until the FIP can get a cabinet approved in Senate. The CMP admit freely to not approving a cabinet selection based on politics because politics features highly in government, to think otherwise would be naiive. We would sooner have a partisan unified cabinet than a bi-partisan quarrelling cabinet." Alexander Dairnes (C: Nu) Chairman of the CMP |

| Message | The VRP speaks out against confusion in the Senate and yet has proposed two identical bills in the past five months, both of which will fail. Andrew Thomas SHP Chairman |
| Date | 14:13:35, July 14, 2009 CET | From | Sue's Corner | To | Debating the Call for early elections, July 2786 |
| Message | Again why are you here?? |
| Date | 16:00:52, July 14, 2009 CET | From | Meritocratic Alliance | To | Debating the Call for early elections, July 2786 |
| Message | Due to the recent unconstitutional actions of the FIP, we must vote yes. |
