| Message | We won't lie to you, none of these really fit into our key ideas for how the country should develop. But there's a few that we could be persuaded to vote for. 8, 5, 3 and 2 are definitely not going to get our vote, the others we are willing to consider depending on the argument that is made for them. |

| Date | 14:13:33, October 24, 2010 CET | From | Union Socialism Alliance | To | Debating the Moderating the Revolution: FFP Platform 3019 |
| Message | We support article 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 8, whilst we disagree completely with 6 and 9. It's a yes from us. Overall, we would try to get this passed, and try to ammend those which we do not agree with. |
| Date | 20:10:40, October 24, 2010 CET | From | Art & Labour | To | Debating the Moderating the Revolution: FFP Platform 3019 |
| Message | Articles 7, 6, 2 and 1 fall far short of what SLD would want, rather disappointingly really. Nevertheless, falling short is better than nothing. We support this act. |
| Date | 22:15:04, October 24, 2010 CET | From | Lyika ati Isọdọtun | To | Debating the Moderating the Revolution: FFP Platform 3019 |
| Message | It should be no secret that the FFP's goals would go further than what is contained in this bill; however, we felt that the proposed reform would be an improvement over current law but would also stand a greater chance of passage. |
| Date | 15:20:21, October 25, 2010 CET | From | Art & Labour | To | Debating the Moderating the Revolution: FFP Platform 3019 |
| Message | Fair enough. Moderate reform > No reform. |
| Date | 17:53:42, October 25, 2010 CET | From | Union Socialism Alliance | To | Debating the Moderating the Revolution: FFP Platform 3019 |
| Message | A great victory, and a welcomed fresh breeze from the Synarchist Council of Ikradon. |

| Random quote: First and second class seats on public transport shall be BANNED! We are all FIRST CLASS people, regardless of whether we are rich or poor and can afford or not afford to pay for a more expensive seat. From now on, all seats on trains, buses, trams, planes and so on shall be the SAME. We will all travel in the SAME way, TOGETHER. ~ Friedrich Pfeiffer General Secretary of the Dorvish Communist Party |
