| Message | The Moral Party feels an election schedule exists for a reason, and that there is no current, legitimate reason that is extreme enough to warrant an early election. |

| Message | "The Unionist Party reminds our colleagues in the Moral Party that as it stands, even without the call to fill the new set of members of the House to match the constitution where there is currently a discrepency, there are still 10 seats in this House completely unfilled. Those 10 seats represent hundreds of thousands of everyday Solentians who presently have no voice in this House at all as their representatives have abandoned them. 65 seats are filled, 75 seats exist. Those 10 need filling and the members of this House ought to respect their need for representation. Furthermore, there is a strong case for hosting an election to bring this House and the working of Government in line with the actual constitution of our country. We urge our colleagues in the Moral Party and in the Crown Party, to back the bill." Alexander York, Unionist Executive Vice-President (Legislative Lead) |

| Message | The Crowns accepted the increase of the seats as a gesture of goodwill. As we see no immediate need to do so, we're not interested in godspeeding the process. Lord Greyhall. Crown Party Spokesman |
