| Message | We need withdrawal from the Pro-Slavery Amendment - It is a ridiculous treaty that will cause retaliation from the international community. |
| Date | 00:19:05, March 08, 2013 CET | From | Vigs Partija ('Whigs') | To | Debating the The Military Amendments Act |
| Message | We support the broad thrust of these changes, but should we not be banning paramilitary groups? |
| Date | 00:22:20, March 08, 2013 CET | From | The Dolgavan Conservative Party | To | Debating the The Military Amendments Act |
| Message | At this current time and straight after the Civil War caused by the Fuedelists, The Conservative Party strongly recommends not banning Paramilitaries at the time due to the uneasy situation, we would however, look forward to a change in the future. |
| Date | 00:47:36, March 08, 2013 CET | From | Vigs Partija ('Whigs') | To | Debating the The Military Amendments Act |

| Date | 02:14:34, March 08, 2013 CET | From | Valsts Brālība Dolgavas | To | Debating the The Military Amendments Act |
| Message | The withdrawal from a treaty that protects our right to own slaves will allow our government to collapse into anarchy. Moreover, we cannot accept this assault on the legitimate governments of the Confederation and the Estates. |
| Date | 04:28:19, March 09, 2013 CET | From | Partido Nacional Real de Egelion | To | Debating the The Military Amendments Act |
| Message | The nation of Egelion is threatened by the current proposed measure to undertake any type of covert operation in any nation. We wish to have a signed agreement that states no operation will be taken against Egelion. If this is not done Dolgavan will face serious consequences. HRH Alex de Cabrea Formoselle |

| Random fact: Cabinet ministers who disagree seriously with the head of government would usually be expected to resign. Parties within the cabinet may attempt to manoeuvre to replace the head of government though, for example by proposing a new cabinet bill or voting for an early election. |
