| Date | 17:18:36, July 13, 2011 CET | From | Rutanian Supremacist League | To | Debating the Conservative Values |
| Message | Mr Speaker, If the CDU have made the effort of placing their proposals in different bills, they are sure to have garnered RSL support for some of it. The RSL support articles 7, 8, 9, 10, but unfortunately the authoritarianism of the other articles fail to counter -balance us in favour of this bill. Although the RSL will vote in the negative, we maintain support for traditional morality. REginald Blackburn Parliamentarian. |
| Date | 20:37:29, July 13, 2011 CET | From |  Freedom Party | To | Debating the Conservative Values |
| Message | Mr Speaker, We would not have supported any of these proposals. We urge the CDU to split bills going forward. |
| Date | 02:36:58, July 14, 2011 CET | From | Commonwealth Liberal Party | To | Debating the Conservative Values |
| Message | Mr Speak, We echo the thoughts of the Freedom Party, we would not have supported any of the proposals at hand. However, we would like separate bills as well, omnibus bills do not help the cause. |
| Date | 14:29:31, July 14, 2011 CET | From | Christian Democratic Union | To | Debating the Conservative Values |
| Message | We shall endeavour to do so going forward Mr Speaker. |
