| Date | 20:42:04, May 28, 2015 CET | From | Progress Party | To | Debating the Constitutional Reforms |
| Message | Mr Speaker, It is not a question of 'cooler' or 'uncool' it is a question of the fact that people feel disconnected with their representatives because of these titles. |
| Date | 22:15:08, May 28, 2015 CET | From | Hosian Socialist Party | To | Debating the Constitutional Reforms |
| Message | Mr. Speaker, It is tradition which binds our people together, and this is an important part of Luthorian political history. I yield |
| Date | 07:29:15, May 29, 2015 CET | From | Radical Communist Labour Party | To | Debating the Constitutional Reforms |
| Message | Mr. Speaker, It is also tradition which has kept our people in the chains of oppression. |
| Date | 10:31:45, May 29, 2015 CET | From | Choice | To | Debating the Constitutional Reforms |
| Message | Truth is "Imperial Seal-Bearer" is both unrepresentative and in all honesty a rather stupid and ridiculous name. To heck with tradition, it's time for progress in Luthori. Stop thinking about out past and start thinking about our future. It's a wonder why people still vote for the Cavalier Party, with backwards policies and quite frankly since the past election they have been completely inactive until just now. |
