| Message | Mr Speaker We sense fear within the conservative nationalist wings. However they should not fear. What is it that they fear. Could it be the democratic process that is taking place in lodamun. If our capitol is moved Lodamun will become a military dictatorship. Making relations worse. Lodamun will suffer a fate it has never suffered before. We will continue with DEMOCRACY in this great land. Phillipa Corazona LDP Leader and National Spokesperson |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, To be fair, Fort Karav was once the capital. We are not sure why the LNC is proposing this, but I want to make it clear to the LDP and the other MPs that the GNRG doesn't support this bill. While Kregon is the largest province, Golavia is more central. Golavia is connected to all other provinces. Port Golavia is our main port, where most imports and exports pass through. If we look at election results, Golavia is the place with the greatest diversity of political views. In some cases, if parties didn't win seats in any other province, they won some in Port Golavia. Golavia is Lodamun's melting pot, and Port Golavia adds to that effect by being a port city. My party, while in government, had put a lot of effort into developing Port Golavia to make it perfect for the location of Lodamun's government buildings. We apologise to our Nationalist comrades in the LNC, but we can't support this. -- Gordon Fertig, Chairman of the GNRG |

| Message | Colleagues, we just wanted to change the capital since Fort Karav is the Religious center of our nation. Why would we become a military dictatorship by changing the capital? Maria Murphy-Spaak LNC chairman |

| Message | Mr. Speaker. We understand that the national conservatives love to relish in the past. The mere mention of the word Fort. Is alarming. Then the Karav family in Kregon. This will be installing them as King's and Queens reigning of everyone with their wealth and connections with the nationalists. We must start monitoring powerful families in this land and take notice of trends to influence parties within this presidium. It is disturbing to us that this bill would reach the presidium. Phillipa Corazona LDP Leader and National Spokesperson |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, we can assure our colleagues from LDP that the last thing we want is a monarchy or a hereditary leader of the State. We would like Fort Karav as our capital because it means a lot to the Lodamese people and there is room for improvement. Port Golavia is been built full, Jorka is to expensive and also a residential city. In and around Fort Karav there still is enough room to build a new governmental center. Maria Murphy-Spaak LNC chairman |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, We are not persuaded of the case for relocating the capital from Port Golavia to Fort Karav. Anton Rietveld Chairman of the Conservative Monarchist Alliance |
| Date | 22:23:29, September 09, 2014 CET | From | Great National Republican Guard | To | Debating the Changing the Capital |
| Message | Neither are we, Mr. Speaker. -- Gordon Fertig, Chairman of the GNRG |
