| Message | What purpose does this bill serve? Any elected official who would not already follow the above words would certainly have little problem with breaking an oath as well. |

| Message | It serves as a declaration of honourable intent. |
| Date | 11:59:57, May 04, 2005 CET | From | Lodamun Centre-Left Coalition | To | Debating the Democracy Pledge |
| Message | Uh...? No can do until a clear motive is stated. |
| Date | 16:59:59, May 04, 2005 CET | From | Cooperative Commonwealth Federation | To | Debating the Democracy Pledge |
| Message | The CCF supports the spirit of this statement, but is reluctant to support any sort of loyalty oath, no matter how worthy. We applaud the Albert Party for its sentiments, but cannot support a pledge of allegiance at this time. |
| Date | 20:30:19, May 04, 2005 CET | From | National People's Gang | To | Debating the Democracy Pledge |
| Message | It is somewhat stunning to find the three parties wrangling over the formulation of a government have all voted against pledging themselves to the principles of democracy. However, the proposal has served its purpose. |
