| Message | The CNP also was pondering proposing such a motion, but the CNP was still in debate on what to rename the Assembly, whether to call it Parliament, or something similar such as Senate. A renaming has our support |

| Message | The SoG notes that our National Assembly was just recently named such, being Parliament first. While we generally do not care what the government wishes to call itself, we feel they should occupy their time with more useful things than renaming the cabinet every couple of months. Therefore, we will vote against this bill on principal. |

| Message | This bill will obviously pass with anyway. The Senate is a nice name with historical connotations, so we'll vote yes. |

| Message | We see no reason to change the name of our legislature. Surely, we all have better things to do besides argue semantics. |

| Message | The TDPK is disgusted by this clear attempt to get media coverage by certain parties, and will be voting against this bill. |

| Message | In light of recent support for the defeat of this bill, the FRP revises its vote. (OOC: I think the National Assembly is cooler-sounding then the Senate.) |
