| Date | 22:06:26, January 06, 2006 CET | From | Socialistic democrats | To | Debating the Civil Rights |
| Message | Why do you always have to use so many articles? I find it really hard to agree with all of them. I would not support it. Too bad that my party has been created a day before the elections and that my vote is of no importance..... |

| Message | Yes we support. SD even if you had been created a day before the election, chances are you would have struggled to gain a single seat, you really need to be created several days before an election in order to stand a chance of gaining seats, so you should be OK next time round. |
