From |  Raijingusan (旭日) | To | Debating the Budget proposal of February 2908 | | Message | You seem to want to convince people that our party is fascist, but we are nothing of the sort. We are centrist and as our party name suggests (National Commonwealth) we want nothing other than a strong nation that serves it's people well in a fair and equal society. |

From | Liberal Democratic Party of Sekowo | To | Debating the Budget proposal of February 2908 | | Message | A party that considers patriotism and imperialism as core ideologies is anything but centrist. Furthermore, I would like to remind your party once more that actions mean more than words, and supporting a fascist government certainly doesn't prove the NCP is centrist in any way. |

From | Raijingusan (旭日) | To | Debating the Budget proposal of February 2908 | | Message | Centrism, or Third Way, is also our core ideology. Voters will clearly understand that our ideology is not fascist, we are certain of that. It is clear that your attacks and constant repition of "fascist" is simply because we do not support your party's attempts to grab full control by not supporting your proposal of early elections. If, in fact, your party had given us a good reason to support the bill we may have considered it. |

From | Liberal Democratic Party of Sekowo | To | Debating the Budget proposal of February 2908 | | Message | "Ideology: Centrist, PATRIOTISM, IMPERIALISM" - NCP description
Ironic that we, who voted to let the people decide who they want in power, are being branded anti-democratic by the NCP, who voted to keep themselves in power by taking away the voice of the people. Once again, why is the NCP afraid of an election? If they are so certain the people support them, why are they not willing to give them a say? |
| Date | 21:48:10, March 14, 2010 CET |
From | Raijingusan (旭日) | To | Debating the Budget proposal of February 2908 | | Message | Voters, by the law, had their chance to decide who they wanted in power last year, and as there is no crisis or any other situation that means that there is a strong reason for early elections, and as your party still hasnt given us a good reason, we shall not vote in favour! |
| Date | 22:06:03, March 14, 2010 CET |
From | Liberal Democratic Party of Sekowo | To | Debating the Budget proposal of February 2908 | | Message | This IS a crisis, in that a coalition completely different than the one people voted on is formed. Your party promised a coalition and a set of principles, yet backed another coalition and a different set of principles once elections were over. |
| Date | 22:13:07, March 14, 2010 CET |
From | Raijingusan (旭日) | To | Debating the Budget proposal of February 2908 | | Message | LDP, you didn't want to accept our request for Premier and Internal Affairs, thats all we requested. As cabinets weren't being proposed and as the nation needed a government we offered to work with a party that was more than willing to accept and became apparent that it was easy to work with. |
