| Message | Mr. Speaker, No-one is forced to follow Lodamese Nationalism. There is always the option of living somewhere else, like that giant Zardic ghetto that is somehow a state. -- Gordon Fertig, Chairman of the GNRG, Opposition Leader |
| Date | 12:40:56, October 13, 2014 CET | From | Movement for Percyism | To | Debating the State Reform |
| Message | Mr. Speaker, The claims made by the GNRG is just laughable. So, what the GNRG just stated is actually forcing people to choose whether or not to leave their nation, friends, work or even family behind, so it could suit the secretive agenda of the GNRG. That is very 'patriotic'. ----- Henry Percy President |
| Date | 12:45:51, October 13, 2014 CET | From | Great National Republican Guard | To | Debating the State Reform |
| Message | Mr. Speaker, This nation belongs to Lodamese Nationalists. If someone isn't a Lodamese Nationalist, leaving Lodamun isn't leaving "their nation" because Lodamun isn't their nation. What "secretive agenda" does the President refer to? Is it such a secret that even we don't know about it? The GNRG has no secretive agenda. We have been open about our stance. -- Gordon Fertig, Chairman of the GNRG, Opposition Leader |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, Let me correct the statement; " The nation's people are all FORCED Lodamese Nationalists. Trademak GNRG. " ----- Manuella Sientega MP for EL, Norstavan region. |

| Date | 13:49:15, October 13, 2014 CET | From | Movement for Percyism | To | Debating the State Reform |
| Message | Mr. Speaker, The GNRG is rather hypocrite. Putting aside, and hurting deliberately a whole group of people and even wishing them out of the country, that is seen heroic by the GNRG. If a PM tries fo defend the same people, then it's not appriciated and the GNRG is offended and shouting blasphemy. It is clear why the GNRG isn't that populair anymore amongst the people. ----- Henry Percy Presidenr |

| Date | 04:38:28, October 14, 2014 CET | From | Zardio Federisma Partio | To | Debating the State Reform |
| Message | Members of the Presidium, This is historic legislation. The world applauds the bold decisions being made here today and no doubt with the passage of this legislation, the sanctions regime which has been so tightly held against Lodamun can finally start to be undone. This vast improvement of the human rights in Lodamun, particularly the treatment of religious minorities should stand as a milestone to the change being introduced in Lodamun. There are some parties and groups here that seek to reverse this progress. Some groups so blinded by their irrational hate that they want to rollback the progress being made here. Well the international community will no longer let that happen. Gone are the days when the international community would stand by and allow the rights of people to be oppressed. Today I make this solemn vow, that the international community will not abandon Lodamun. That we will never again turn a blind eye to genocide and oppression in these areas. We will stand with Lodamun to ensure these rights are never violated again. Indeed we still stand with human rights and against those who seek to oppress freedom wherever they may be. Whether it is the anti-Hosian campaigns here, or the persecution of minorities in Kafuristan or the imperialistic oppression that Luthori seeks to impose on the world. We stand against that and will not stay silent. Today is a joyous day for Lodamun, and the world stands behind them ready to help Lodamun take the next steps to ensure human rights for all. Jan Sobeski Foreign Minister Jonathan Sabeki Prime Minister David Venitin President of the Federation |

| Random fact: Cabinet ministers who disagree seriously with the head of government would usually be expected to resign. Parties within the cabinet may attempt to manoeuvre to replace the head of government though, for example by proposing a new cabinet bill or voting for an early election. |
