| Message | "This bill should not be called "Democracy". You need to remember that 100% of the Alorian population support the current law. So those who vote yes on this bill, goes against everyone in this nation" Godard Gettler, AFP |

| Message | "This is frankly a necessary move if we are to be able to form cabinets that best reflect election results. Otherwise, whenever the Head of State does not have a majority in the council - as is the case right now - we're all stuck in some sort of governmental limbo where everyone loses. Just look at our current situation; we have a cabinet where 5 out of 13 posts are held by a defunct party - including the post of prime minister! Also, '100% of the Alorian population support the current law'? Surely such a bold statement requires some sort of reference to a credible source?" Madeline Levitt, DCP |

| Message | "If you look at the Opinion Poll for July 3430 in Federated Kingdoms of Aloria Daily, you see that 100% of the citizens of Aloria, support the current law. The problem is not the law, it is the parties in Aloria. Only two parties has comfirmed that they can join the cabinet with our party, Alorian Freedom Party. That is ADP and NLP. We have told our voters that we will never allow NLP in the cabinet, but we have also said that we can form a cabinet with any other party." Godard Gettler, AFP |

| Message | "Because Democracy works by ignoring the opposition until they go away, right? Ye gods, surly you know better than that. If we ever got the head position, we would let you have at least some of the seats." Maria Castro |
