| Message | Mr. Speaker, We fully agree with this bill, specially given the recent increase in bickering in Parliament. Such arguments should be in private talks or through media releases. As for the article attached, we believe this is already being taken care of. I yield. OOC: I'm all in favor of the current back and forth between the parties here, but when they stray from the bill it might be better to be done on the nation's page instead, or perhaps we can carry it on in the Debate: Gov bill. |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, Good, we just need the support of the Republican Party to make it binding. I yield. OOC: I agree. |
| Date | 22:21:11, January 30, 2011 CET | From | Republican Party (RM) | To | Debating the Parliamentary Reform Act |
| Message | Mr. Speaker, We will not, as we have already made clear, support Article 1. I yield. |
| Date | 00:51:39, January 31, 2011 CET | From | Plaid Geidwadol Traddodiadol (PGT) | To | Debating the Parliamentary Reform Act |
| Message | Mr. Speaker, So basically you will not allow democracy to work. The people elected monarchists to 401 of the seats. Please tell me that you not see that? I yield. |
| Date | 01:00:42, January 31, 2011 CET | From | Christian Democratic Party | To | Debating the Parliamentary Reform Act |
| Message | Mr. Speaker, We would hope the Republicans only disagree with the article tagged along with this bill and not the resolutions included in them as well. I yield. OOC: This might be better as just an OOC piece, outlining how we should conduct ourselves and how bills should be made. |
| Date | 01:22:57, January 31, 2011 CET | From | Plaid Geidwadol Traddodiadol (PGT) | To | Debating the Parliamentary Reform Act |
| Message | OOC: Yes, you are right. I will wait for the Republicans to respond, then I shall put it up for a vote (I'll take out the article if they continue to disagree). |
| Date | 08:25:09, January 31, 2011 CET | From | Republican Party (RM) | To | Debating the Parliamentary Reform Act |
| Message | Mr. Speaker, Of course we agree with Parts I to VII. It is Article 1 that we are against. And may I remind the Monarchists that the Imperialists only have a majority because of the flawed representation system. I yield. |
