| Message | I agree with articles 1 and 2 but on 3 we cannot. |
| Date | 18:12:40, February 24, 2013 CET | From | Chann National Party (CNP) | To | Debating the Republican Agenda - 6 |
| Message | It is somewhat contradictory to legislate the states sole authority over the power grid and to exclude private companies from the same while devolving the states authority in providing public housing to low income families to private firms. However, we do support article 2. |
| Date | 20:45:57, February 24, 2013 CET | From | Republican Party | To | Debating the Republican Agenda - 6 |
| Message | Not necessarily. Article 3 is state capitalism/social democracy, and is therefore a step to the economic left of the status quo. By Article 3 we mean that all or at least a bigger percentage of housing is to be publically owned, but built by private companies, in order to slightly reduce the costs of government to manage them. |
| Date | 07:05:43, February 25, 2013 CET | From | Libertarian Party | To | Debating the Republican Agenda - 6 |
| Message | Article 1 and 2 are completely unacceptable and seeks to make Solentia a trade union socialist democracy. |
