| Message | There are way too many votes to cast. I have never seen so busy a parliamentary schedule. Frankly, it has hindered debate. A modest reduction that still allows a great deal of proposals to be introduced is needed to remedy this situation. |
| Date | 05:02:03, August 30, 2009 CET | From | The Liberal Party | To | Debating the Parliamentary Reform |
| Message | This is our job, our mandate. Those who want to complain and/or not do their job should resign from Parliament immediately. |
| Date | 05:07:39, August 30, 2009 CET | From | United Republics Party | To | Debating the Parliamentary Reform |
| Message | Our job is to work inefficiently and maintain a system that discourages debate? |
| Date | 09:08:08, August 30, 2009 CET | From | Free Peoples Party | To | Debating the Parliamentary Reform |
| Message | Be that as it may, those of us who deserve to be in parliament don't complain. |

| Message | The Liberal's lapdog changes its vote to follow its master. I'm shocked. |
| Date | 22:20:37, August 30, 2009 CET | From | The Liberal Party | To | Debating the Parliamentary Reform |
| Message | You should not really speak about lapdog and master. |
| Date | 22:34:46, August 30, 2009 CET | From | United Republics Party | To | Debating the Parliamentary Reform |
| Message | The Liberals are not the master of the United Republics Party and can not dictate censorship in Parliament. |
| Date | 22:15:50, August 31, 2009 CET | From | Country Liberal Party | To | Debating the Parliamentary Reform |
