| Message | This bill comes in line with Christian value, but opposes a very important Christian value. Freedom to live your life. Even though my vote doesn't count, ((OOC: :P) the party will vote no due to this bill opposing a fundamental Christian value. |
| Date | 16:56:46, August 13, 2013 CET | From | Progressive Party | To | Debating the Conservative Change |
| Message | We agree with the Change and Reform Party. God wants us to be free to pursue same-sex relationships if that is how he designed us to behave. |

| Random fact: Party candidates for head of state elections are not visible to the public. This means that you cannot see who will run and who will not, which adds another strategic element to the elections. |
