| Date | 16:17:49, February 11, 2014 CET | From | Royal Malivian Freedom Party | To | Debating the Call for early elections, November 3620 |
| Message | The Freedom Party sees this as a shameless ploy to lock out the newly created Patriarchal Federalist and New Reform Parties from government while their visibility is low by sending the bills they have created and voted on back to the debate floor. As a result we can not in good faith support this endeavor. The people will vote come the next regularly scheduled election when all parties have had a chance to establish a platform. |
| Date | 16:59:58, February 11, 2014 CET | From | Hosian Democratic Party | To | Debating the Call for early elections, November 3620 |
| Message | The Socialists made their own bed on this issue by calling a surprise election just a year ago in an attempt to lock newly emerging parties out of the legislature for as long as possible and to crush the Unity's minority rights at that time. A majority of Malivians voted for Unity governance at that time, and a Unity government they will have. It has also not gone unnoticed that the Socialists are about to lose a number of very high priority votes in the National Assembly. We will not allow parties to disrupt Malivia's legislative process simply because they don't like the circumstances that they are in. Elections will be held as presently scheduled in June of 3625. |
