| Message | "I recall quite well when the Selucians came here and seized control of our nation. The Crusade came by boat and rigged the elections to their favor. We cannot allow for such a situation to happen again. So long as Article 3 is unchanged, we cannot vote favorably." Viceregent Benedict Klein, M.A.R.C. |
| Date | 10:01:32, February 23, 2012 CET | From | Nrzi Prta (Democratic Party) | To | Debating the Civil Equility Act |
| Message | Despite my disagreement with the assessment of Viceregent Benedict Klein that this act can somehow rig the election, I am willing to drop article 3 to ensure the passage of this act. Jonathan Spencer MP, |
| Date | 17:42:45, February 23, 2012 CET | From | One Nation Conservative Party | To | Debating the Civil Equility Act |
| Message | The manner in which this bill seeks to degrade the sanctity of marriage and childhood is unacceptable to us. |
| Date | 03:10:39, February 24, 2012 CET | From | Medrisite-Associated Revisionist Council | To | Debating the Civil Equility Act |
| Message | "I do not believe that this act alone can rig the election. I do believe however that if we were to allow any man the right to vote, especially those who come from foreign soil in vast numbers that the Selucians had done, such a situation may be repeated. However, I praise the Democrat Party for removing the controversial act in the spirit of cooperation." Viceregent Benedict Klein, M.A.R.C. |
