| Message | Mr. Speaker, our army is not primarily trained for war. Our army is trained to help our civilians, to guard our borders and to be a savior in times of distress. Policing is one of the tasks that helps them get closer to the nation and its citizens. Firmin Cafmeyer LNC Internal Specialist |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, The current system is more efficient. Again, we should try to question the CMA's reason for making this proposal. The military is responsible for eliminating threats faced by the state. The CMA, a terrorist-supporting and foreign-backed organisation, is here to threaten the strength of the state from the inside. As such, the CMA fears that a conscious force - especilly one which is concerned with the security of the state - will have any involvement in internal affairs. -- Gordon Fertig, Chairman of the GNRG, Opposition Leader |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, This is something the SLP once proposed and the FISH still view it in high esteem. We would be glad to have this pass, even if it was proposed by a terrorist support group - as the GNRG seems to like to put it. Rowan Argall SLP Leader, Head FISH |
| Date | 08:05:04, October 22, 2014 CET | From | Great National Republican Guard | To | Debating the Police Reform Act |
| Message | Mr. Speaker, We understand the reasons for this being supported by FISH, but we must be weary of the intentions of the CMA. -- Gordon Fertig, Chairman of the GNRG, Opposition Leader |
| Date | 02:26:26, October 23, 2014 CET | From | People of Freedom (P.F) | To | Debating the Police Reform Act |
| Message | Mr. Speaker. If FISH proposed this . We would have voted yes. However we grow wary of the CMA. We stand with LODAMUN! Matteo Powers Minister of Internal Affairs JDP Leader |
| Date | 03:22:10, October 23, 2014 CET | From | Conservative Monarchist Alliance | To | Debating the Police Reform Act |
| Message | Mr. Speaker, The attitude of the JDP puzzles me, but nevertheless, I am happy to hand over responsibility for this Bill to FISH if that will persuade the JDP to vote in favour of it. Ignatz Linden Social Affairs spokesman |
