| Message | FOR THE PEOPLE ??!! What about the pacifists? The religious? are they not "the people"? Forbidding school prayers an forcing military service upon the people is not what all "the people" will agree upon enthusiastically. This is Dictatorship disguised as Democratic Social Party. |
| Date | 04:56:57, August 17, 2012 CET | From | Solentia Peoples Party | To | Debating the Democratic Manifesto II |
| Message | The Democratic Workers Party wants to take voting away from "the people" and let Head of State oversee Mayor appointments. Let the people decide who will be their Mayor. Are we (The Razm Anbaz Party) more democratic than the Democratic Party? |
| Date | 08:22:16, August 17, 2012 CET | From | Grand Liberal Party | To | Debating the Democratic Manifesto II |
| Message | Senetors, we have never seen such proposals in Solentia for over 60 years. We should not allow the DWP to change the 'liberal' settlement that has been established here |
| Date | 08:37:58, August 17, 2012 CET | From | Democratic Workers Party | To | Debating the Democratic Manifesto II |
| Message | Senators, Solentia has become a bastion of arrogance and belief that the ways of life, which have governed for 60 years will reign supreme. The Liberals and the Federalist cling to power, not sharing in the power with the people. The Razm Anbaz Party is a sham and a mockery of the democratic system in Solentia. |
| Date | 17:21:26, August 17, 2012 CET | From | Solentia Peoples Party | To | Debating the Democratic Manifesto II |
| Message | Senators, Yet, another party pointing the blame and finger without any elaboration. On top of that, the DWP (Dictatorship Workers Party) never even push the debate as to why their proposals will benefit Solentia and Terra. |
| Date | 23:59:53, August 17, 2012 CET | From | Grand Liberal Party | To | Debating the Democratic Manifesto II |
| Message | "Senators, the allegations of the DWP are outragous. Neither the Liberals of the FIP have clung to power, but in most cases power has been shared in this nation. We do however accept that the ways of life that have been established in Solentia are right and correct - otherwise we would obviously not suported their establishment. We do not see why this should be viewed as arrogant - if would be most strange if political parties established ways of life that they knew to be wrong or floored. We would like to ask why in the DWP these Solentian ways of life are wrong and not maintainable? also these views on the RAP are out of order - they are honest about their views and gain a reasonable amount of support from the people at the ballot box. We also question the title of this bill 'Democracy' - why are these proposals representitive of democracy in any sence of the word?" Maxmillion Davids Liberal Legislative lead |

| Random fact: Players who consent to a particular role-play by acknowledging it in their own role-play cannot then disown it or withdraw their consent from it. For example, if player A role-plays the assassination of player B's character, and player B then acknowledges the assassination in a news post, but then backtracks and insists the assassination did not happen, then he will be required under the rules to accept the validity of the assassination role-play. |
