| Message | "Obviously not. The NLP either is a party of uneducated children or they are wasting the discussion for crass comments. They know there is a difference. A government made up of one dictator means more centralized political power. A central government made up of 10,000 politicians means people have more power." ~William Paul, Minister of Finance |

| Message | "So you want government to be bigger?" Astryd Goldsea, Unionist leader |
| Date | 21:18:09, March 26, 2015 CET | From | Free Democratic Party | To | Debating the Term Limits |
| Message | "No! I want to restrict the power of government. Having more members of government will actually make government weaker." ~William Paul, Minister of Finance |

| Message | "You want to make the Government smaller by increasing the size of it? LPS nonsense but the typically inept numeracy we expect from the Finance Secretary. He bumbled the budget and was forced to redo it and now he thinks addition is subtraction. I'd say send him back to school but there won't be any left by the time he's finished chopping-up the schools budget!" Astryd Goldsea, Unionist leader *cheers and laughs from the Unionist benches* "Where's your abacus, Bill?" |

| Message | "William Paul has been kicked out of the LPS. He's had a poor record in the party. Unlike members like Donny Kennedy, Tom Rand, and myself, the people of Solentia find Bill stupid and irritating. We voted against our more senators bill." ~Ted Johnson, Head Chairman of the LPS and Prime Minister |
