| Message | Mr Speaker, The RSL is apprehensive of longer terms, as it is a concept completely alien to us. We shall still support article three, however, for we believe that the government needs longer periods to carry out its plans, and more shall be solved and deliberated. As for articles one and two, the RSL believes that number of proposals a party can propose yearly should range between 10-15, so the current proposal is fine. For article two, the RSL is opposed to the current proposal and believe that it should be moved to 20. Reginald Blackburn, Parliamentarian. |

| Message | Mr Speaker, We echo wholly the sentiments of the RSL. Should Article 2 be amended, this bill will have our full support. |
| Date | 23:03:23, June 29, 2011 CET | From | Urban Party of Rutania | To | Debating the Constitutional Reform Act 3144 |
| Message | Mr Speaker, The UPR will support this bill, though we wish to see Article 2 amended since a lowering of quota will hinder the ability of a new party to gain visibility and successfully operate in Rutania. It will also give the impression that Rutania is a country that restricts the freedom of political parties. |
| Date | 21:02:48, June 30, 2011 CET | From |  Freedom Party | To | Debating the Constitutional Reform Act 3144 |
| Message | Mr Speaker, we shall raise the limit to 20 proposals and thank our colleagues in Parliament for their thoughts and the respectful way in which they argued their cases. |
