| Message | As a socialist party, let's shed some light on this. We agree that the state should own defense industries. However, it is inexcusable for people to be forced into the military. That is fascism, my friend. -Arnold Katz, Leader of the Phillipsian Party |
| Date | 17:32:15, November 13, 2013 CET | From | Grand National Party | To | Debating the Socialist Defence Act |
| Message | Mr. Speaker, There would be no benefit in replacing the dictatorship of General Cubrero with what the DUM gentleman calls "the dictatorship of the proletariat" but we would call the "dictatorship of Metzists". |

| Message | Mr Speaker, It is hilarious to hear a certain party that has collaborated with reactionary Hosians in the past call itself socialist. The proletariat will rule Dranland, it's only a question of when not if. Article 2 is to guarantee equality of opportunity in the armed forces, let every patriotic Dranish citizen put his life on the line to defend the country not just the sons of the working class. Comrade Antonio Blero DUM General Secretary |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, Our party is willing to work with anyone who supports our goals. We did not support any of the social conservatism of the Hosians, which you can see in our voting record. Arnold Katz MP Leader of the Phillipsian Party |
