| Message | There are no proposals associated with this - it is a straightforward resolution rather than a bill proper. |
| Date | 21:09:04, October 24, 2005 CET | From |  Ducal Delegation | To | Debating the Anti-Slavery Resolution |
| Message | This 'Anti-Slavery Resolution' is yet another show of petty politicking, wishy-washy, leftist politically correct posturing. There are more important things for the Grand Council to discuss. Percy Waterman (Personal Secretary to the Grand Duke of Hikirena) |

| Message | If it is "leftist" and "politically correct" to oppose slavery, then I suspect that every political party in Aldegar is leftist and politically correct - except for one. |
| Date | 01:30:24, October 25, 2005 CET | From | Progressive Conservatives | To | Debating the Anti-Slavery Resolution |
| Message | We agree with the resolution in principle; albeit we do not see the point in forcing the Ducal Delegation to apologize for several reasons: 1) The Grand Council should be concerned with more important affairs than getting a party to apologize for soemthing; 2) We see no need for the Ducal Delegation to apologize for having a different platform from those of other parties. While we vehemently disagree with the Ducal Delegation's stance on slavery, we respect Ducal's right to have a different opinion; and 3) A forced apology is rarely ever sincere and genuine. The PC Party will, nevertheless, support this resolution, for we fully support the first two points |
