| Date | 18:23:38, November 20, 2005 CET | From | Anarcho-Capitalist Front | To | Debating the Monarchy Act |
| Message | I need to know how this will come about before I make a decision. How will the monarch be chosen? How will he be displaced? How will succession take place? |
| Date | 20:57:19, November 20, 2005 CET | From | People's Progressive Party | To | Debating the Monarchy Act |
| Message | A ceremonial monarchy will be the biggest welfare case in our nation's history. To support the monarch and his/her royal family will cost the taxpayers millions just so they can have their fancy ceremonies and symbolic tours. Additionally, it will cause an explosion of yellow press dedicated to monitoring and gossiping about our "royals". It's a waste of money in this party's opinion. |
