| Message | Do not become excited and we ARE NOT COLLEAGUES. Our party is in fulls support of the monarch and the policies of which he approves. This is just a logical step forward in the evolution of Telamonese society. Do not expect our beliefs to line up much more. |

| Message | No, it should not. Our house prays for the time when you disappear from these halls, never to return. We beg you to leave for another, more accepting nation because we DO NOT WANT YOU HERE. And because you oppose a system that has been so good to this nation and its people...we have no choice but to put your entire party on the Royal Watch List. And do not see this as an opportunity for publicity or encouragement, we still want you to go and not come back. Just so you know, we don't like you, we borderline HATE YOU as of now. |

| Message | Darn libertarians. Crazy nut jobs, that's what they are. If your policies are passed, then chaos will erupt. Parliament and the government as a whole will not only become ineffective, but when people like you realize that your ideas are not only impractical, but illogical, then it will be too late to restore the old order. And why do you oppose an institution that has never been oppressive and whose actions and powers are governed and were dictated by this very democratic institution. |

| Message | We love you too! We are confident that the people will decide which party has the best vision for the future of our great nation and give that party power in the next election. |

| Message | Well, just to be clear, we HATE you and we do hope that the Telamonese people realize that you'll run this nation into the ground. |

| Message | We feel that you have been allowed to rule this nation with your authoritarian, outdated policies for far to long. Three election cycles of single party rule is not healthy for democracy. We are the beginnings of a revolution and a free Telamon! We don't hate you, as Pastafarians we do not hate anyone, but we do feel that your power needs to be challenged and freedom expanded. And yes, we wish to topple the Monarchy as well. |

| Message | STUPID STUPID STUPID IDIOTS. First off, when there were other parties here, our cousins, who's spot and beliefs and positions we took, were the largest party, DEMOCRATICALLY ELECTED. And here come you, some idiot fool who believes that because he's read the elections results he knows what's going on in Telamon. YOU KNOW NOTHING. And as for authoritarian, you wish to let this nation go ungoverned for all time! That is idiotic and ridiculous an, as you certainly will not realize the error of your ways, we pray on all that is royal and Telamonese that you will leave this nation, and indeed this world, and never return. And we don't mind challenge to our power as long as it is logical and reasonable and not anarchist and ridiculous, something you don't seem to understand. GET OUT OF THESE HALLS, FOR YOU HAVE NO RESPECT FOR GOVERNMENT, NO RESPECT FOR SENSIBILITY, NO RESPECT FOR LOGIC, AND NO RESPECT FOR COMMON SENSE. |

| Message | It really is quite rude to call people you disagree with stupid. What's illogical about letting people be free? |

| Message | Nothing. And what do we care about being rude to idiots. Idiots are not on the same level as logical thinkers. And we have nothing against freedom, but we do believe that freedom must be given with order! No regulation is not order, it is chaos and anarchy. |
