| Message | We feel that Democratic Socialist State is a strange, and wordy, name of our subdivisions. We will vote yes for now since the Union of Socialist Sultanates is defunct. But we will propose an alternative bill with a simple title for our regions. |
| Date | 21:45:07, September 25, 2012 CET | From | United Justice Party | To | Debating the Renaming Provinces |
| Message | IT IS REASONABLE And fits with our national name. AND OUR National name is wordy too. |
| Date | 21:52:08, September 25, 2012 CET | From | United Justice Party | To | Debating the Renaming Provinces |
| Message | WE SEE United Badara's proposal. WHILE THIS PROPOSAL Is reasonable, THEIRS Emphasises the power of the centralised State. Yours emphasises devolution. WE WILL Support theirs and not yours. |
