| Message | I\'ll vote for this version, although I still feel like HoS and HoG should be somewhat seperate, I can live with them being merged. |

| Message | I actually feel that if we can form a majority government with the smaller parties, then we should be allowed to. However, it is true that the HOS has no power anyway... |

| Message | I support #2 but not #1 However, I can be inclined to vote yes for this one. |

| Message | grrrrrr.... I'll vote yes, but I am making my public protest against this one. I am only voting yes because like LPD says, we can always change it back. |
| Date | 23:07:47, December 20, 2005 CET | From | United Dolgaria Party | To | Debating the Government Reform Act |

| Date | 09:05:24, December 21, 2005 CET | From | Dolgarian Imperial Revivalists | To | Debating the Government Reform Act |
| Message | We could really do with holding a new election just after this, as otherwise the LPP will have powers that they weren't elected to have. Keep it all democratic and everything.... Anyway, when is our next election due? |
| Date | 14:11:40, December 21, 2005 CET | From | United Dolgaria Party | To | Debating the Government Reform Act |
| Message | In 1 and a half years. And anyway, I don't mind the fact that LPP has so many powers. ;-) And thanks CC! |
