| Message | We will not permit these errant actions. We wonder if the party originating this proposal is truly Solentian, and if it has Solentia's best interests at heart. |

| Message | You have turned this country into a monarchy with limited democracy, this will no longer be allowed. |
| Date | 04:10:49, February 22, 2012 CET | From | Positive Progression Party | To | Debating the Government Reformation Act |
| Message | I agree with the J.S.B.P. The Crown Nation has become way too powerful, and its reign needs to end. I believe the Crown Party isn't asking whether we have Solentia's best interest at heart, but whether we have the Crown Party's best interest. I am not ready to compromise democracy just so some greedy politicians can imposing their dictatorship ideas on this kingdom. |

| Message | The Crown Party does its best on behalf of the people, as all should. Democracy has its place, but it should never triumph over justice or stability. |

| Message | Spoken like a true monarchist, the voice of the people is limited towards their own interests! |

| Date | 16:47:19, February 23, 2012 CET | From | Coalition for National Unity [CNU] | To | Debating the Government Reformation Act |
| Message | "Whilst the Unionists symapthise with the JSBP on the issue of seats in the House, we are not willing to support an act that would remove a legitimately elected government and state structure that was voted in by the people and, by evidence of the Crown Party's retention of the House's governing majority, enjoying the continued support of the people." William Jordan, Unionist Legislative Lead. |
