| Message | It's ridiculous. In the Federal Republic, the President and the Prime Minister is a civil matter. Yes they also have this military position, but we NOT need to be officially calling them like that. |

| Message | If they have the military position, why can we now call them that? |
| Date | 21:35:34, November 08, 2012 CET | From | New Democratic Party | To | Debating the Head of State & Government Name Change |
| Message | Because in democracy we don't use for Head of State and Prime Minister military ranks. It's sign of dictatorship. See: http://classic.particracy.net/viewvariable.php?variable=HEAD_OF_STATE |

| Message | I can support change to: President of the United Republics of Lodamun and Prime Minister leave as now, because we have presidential federation. |

| Message | But this is not a dictatorship. In fact, Lodamun affords its citizens one of the least regulated societies in the world. A title is not a sign of a dictatorshil. Our party would never support a dictatorship. |

| Message | The bill shouldn't have passed. It doesn't have support of 2/3 of this legislature. In the opinion of the URP, this law is not valid and will be ignored. |
