| Message | Mr. Speaker, I know your fear of losing more seats because the left parties will be taking your votes and if we hold one now less people will know of the other parties and more likely to vote for you and losing seats will likely cost your coalition government. Ethan Reynolds Leader of LIP |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, Why is the LIP worried that I may lose seats? Why would they vote against, in fear of me losing seats? Since the LIP is voting against, it is obvious that they are the ones fearing something. The NAP is the revival of an old party, and the CRP has already participated in an election. The only entirely new party is the DLP. -- Andre Fertig, Chairman of the GNRG, Minster of Trade & Industry, Vice President of Lodamun |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, I want to see the parties be able to be seen by more people and to take more of you votes in the general election. Ethan Reynolds Leader of the Independence Party |
| Date | 22:27:55, December 24, 2014 CET | From | New Democratic Party | To | Debating the Snap Elections - 3778 |
| Message | Mr. Speaker, I don't see any reliable reason to hold early election at this time. Thanks, Jack Gallagher, Leader of RPF |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, Why vote down a early election proposal and vote for enough? It is clear the GNRC has some machinations planned. Gregory Cormwell. Supreme Guide of the M.B. and A.O.M. |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, After inspecting the legalisation currently set to pass if the President's party continues to abstain on nearly all new bills, it is clear why the GNRC is eager to prematurely end the session of the Presidium. Gregory Cormwell. Supreme Guide of the M.B. and A.O.M. |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, We didn't vote down a simple "early election proposal" - we voted down a "Motion of No Confidence" which implied that the government would be dissolved, not the Presidium. This bill is to rearrange the Presidium, not the government. The LIP doesn't know the difference. -- Andre Fertig, Chairman of the GNRG, Minister of Trade & Industry, Vice President of Lodamun |

| Random fact: Players have a responsibility to differentiate between OOC (out-of-character) and IC (in-character) behaviour, and to make clear when they are communicating in OOC or IC terms. Since Particracy is a role-playing game, IC excesses are generally fine, but OOC attacks are not. However, players must not presume this convention permits them to harass a player with IC remarks that have a clear OOC context. |
