| Message | We can see supporting Article 1 if you could explain why only recognized religions may set up schools in Article 2. |
| Date | 20:01:53, July 02, 2011 CET | From | Social Anarchy Party | To | Debating the Reformation Act |
| Message | Disagree with article one because the farmers are one of the most important people in the whole economy. |

| Message | After consultation with our education members, it is in our best interest to deny article 3 on the basis that any school that obeys the nation's standards and curriculum should be allowed if we are to allow private schools to be setup in Deltaria. As far as Article 1, subsidies for farmers in todays age of us being a Corn nation is big problem. Deltaria's farmers are getting pinched for every penny by large chain stores in order for them to advertise "Always lower prices." However, subsidies need to be appropriate and make sense. Also, large farms are usually the hindrance of subsidies making sense because in many nations large farmers will be paid big buck not to plant crops on parts of their land. Article 2 is within our party's guidelines. |

| Date | 06:01:47, July 04, 2011 CET | From | Free Trade Party | To | Debating the Reformation Act |
| Message | We would support this if it weren't for article 2. All religions should be free in Deltaria. |
