| "Some of you may remember our similar proposal, the Political Correctness Bill of 3145.

| Message | "The Liberal Conservative Party always supported a positive, reasonable change in this area - and the Liberal Party will do so as well. While President is not our favoured choice. We will accept it in this instance." - Mary J. Andowin Leader of the Liberal Party |
| Date | 06:44:21, August 07, 2011 CET | From | Deltarian Left | To | Debating the Political Correctness Bill of 3163 |
| Message | "Chairman of the Republic" sounds odd anyway. |

| Message | We support this change. DP |
| Date | 11:25:58, August 07, 2011 CET | From | Deltarian True Christian Party | To | Debating the Political Correctness Bill of 3163 |
| Message | "We dislike the title "President". It implies an office that 'presides' - and we are somewhat repulsed by the idea that the office gives the right to 'control' Deltarians. We think that a similar title, like "Prime Minister" would be more fitting. Being the first among Ministers is a much more agreeable calling." --- Malik-rabban of Ushalande Chairman of the Deltarian True Christian Party High Priest of the True Christian Ministry First Patron of the Council of Saints. |
| Date | 14:28:58, August 07, 2011 CET | From | Democratic Party | To | Debating the Political Correctness Bill of 3163 |
| Message | President and Prime Minister are two separates positions. The title "Prime Minister" is currently used as "Premier" in Deltaria. DP |
| Date | 14:37:28, August 07, 2011 CET | From | Deltarian True Christian Party | To | Debating the Political Correctness Bill of 3163 |
| Message | "There's no reason the Head of State can't be called the Prime Minister, if we consider the position to be a ministerial position, and consider the Head of State to have some kind of primacy. The True Christian Party would actually prefer to see the Head of State and Head of Government positions united in one, and named as the "Prime Minister" seat." --- Malik-rabban of Ushalande Chairman of the Deltarian True Christian Party High Priest of the True Christian Ministry First Patron of the Council of Saints. |
| Date | 16:18:58, August 07, 2011 CET | From | Progressive Party | To | Debating the Political Correctness Bill of 3163 |
| Message | "That position being merged with Premier puts too much responsibility on one individual. In no way could Brett Ranigan (FTP) be able to both manage our nation as the head of the executive branch and still have time to adequately manage the National Forum proceedings. If there are thoughts as to another title we would be willing to change it. Liberals?" -Amy D. Kingsley (Progressive Party) Chairwoman of the Board |
| Date | 23:12:59, August 07, 2011 CET | From | Deltarian Left | To | Debating the Political Correctness Bill of 3163 |
| Message | Consul? Governor? |
| Date | 02:19:44, August 08, 2011 CET | From | Deltarian Liberal Movement | To | Debating the Political Correctness Bill of 3163 |
| Message | "Governor could be used, it gets the same message across - while stating exactly what the position is designed to do, Govern as apart of the Government. Naturally, some places use the term 'Governor-General' for national based positions - but here it is entirely optional I suppose." - Mary J. Andowin Leader of the Liberal Party |
| Date | 04:50:08, August 08, 2011 CET | From | Progressive Party | To | Debating the Political Correctness Bill of 3163 |
| Message | Would we support Governor-General as a Forum? Or just Governor? |
| Date | 16:12:44, August 08, 2011 CET | From | Deltarian Left | To | Debating the Political Correctness Bill of 3163 |
| Message | Probably Governor. Also, Chancellor? |

| Date | 08:06:49, August 09, 2011 CET | From | Deltarian Liberal Movement | To | Debating the Political Correctness Bill of 3163 |
| Message | "It looks like Governor has support. Perhaps it would be best to see how the next election plays out before submitting this to a vote, however?" - Mary J. Andowin Leader of the Liberal Party |
| Date | 03:49:30, August 10, 2011 CET | From | Progressive Party | To | Debating the Political Correctness Bill of 3163 |

| Date | 10:37:01, August 10, 2011 CET | From | Thatcherite Alliance | To | Debating the Political Correctness Bill of 3163 |
| Message | Here's a novel idea. Let's have a Monarchy and make the Queen our head of state. Then there will be no need to have this fuss about political correctness. |
| Date | 16:13:39, August 10, 2011 CET | From | Deltarian True Christian Party | To | Debating the Political Correctness Bill of 3163 |
| Message | "We agree with the Thatcherite Party, except we believe that the hereditary Head of State should be a "High Priest", and represent the dominant religion of Deltaria... rather than some trivial 'queen'." --- Malik-rabban of Ushalande Chairman of the Deltarian True Christian Party High Priest of the True Christian Ministry First Patron of the Council of Saints. |

| Message | "We are not 'in love with' the title of Governor, with it's implication that the position grants control over others, but we see this as the will of the Forum, and will support accordingly." --- Malik-rabban of Ushalande Chairman of the Deltarian True Christian Party High Priest of the True Christian Ministry First Patron of the Council of Saints. |
