| Date | 16:44:37, January 03, 2006 CET | From | Luthori Green Party | To | Debating the Ratification of the Trade and Defence Entente |
| Message | If this bill is passed, we should reduce our military around the southern border, as due to the treaty, that border would be immune from attack. They should be moved to bolster the other borders. |
| Date | 16:52:22, January 03, 2006 CET | From | Covenanters (IA) | To | Debating the Ratification of the Trade and Defence Entente |
| Message | Quite. With our southern flank protected we could reassign the troops and assemble an airmobile invasion force to attack Dundorf! |

| Message | We could also take some of the forces from the eastern borders, as we have two allies near that area. |

| Date | 19:26:49, January 03, 2006 CET | From | Covenanters (IA) | To | Debating the Ratification of the Trade and Defence Entente |
| Message | But a country can't have an alliance it's Head of Government opposes... |
| Date | 19:28:44, January 03, 2006 CET | From | Luthori Green Party | To | Debating the Ratification of the Trade and Defence Entente |
| Message | Unless it stipulates that in the game, does it matter? |
| Date | 20:21:31, January 03, 2006 CET | From | Covenanters (IA) | To | Debating the Ratification of the Trade and Defence Entente |
| Message | I was thinking in terms of realism. |
| Date | 05:43:48, January 04, 2006 CET | From | Free White Castle and The People Party | To | Debating the Ratification of the Trade and Defence Entente |
| Message | In terms of realism the failure to support a widely popular act by the Head of Government would result in a government collapse and a call for new elections. |
| Date | 05:45:06, January 04, 2006 CET | From | Luthori Green Party | To | Debating the Ratification of the Trade and Defence Entente |
| Message | Depends. If Luthori uses a presidential system, then it probably does matter, since the president is generally in charge of the show. If Luthori uses a parliamentary system, then it probably isn't a big deal, since the prime minister is just the first among equals, and thus other ministers can set their own legislation. If the ministers of foreign affairs, denfence, and trade and industry agree, what can the prime minister do? |
| Date | 09:20:45, January 04, 2006 CET | From | Covenanters (IA) | To | Debating the Ratification of the Trade and Defence Entente |
| Message | In Westminster he would just shuffle them out of the cabinet! |
| Date | 09:42:32, January 04, 2006 CET | From | Luthori Green Party | To | Debating the Ratification of the Trade and Defence Entente |
| Message | When one party has majority. If part of a coalition, where the minister in question is part of a party required to maintain the coalition majority, would he act so hastely? |
