| Message | "I rise today to announce my fierce and unwavering opposition to this bill. This bill is ridiculous. It is absurd. It is bad for this nation. It is bad for the people of this nation. We call on the members of this body, those elected to be a voice for the people of this nation, to rise up and to do the right thing. To say "enough is enough!" To put an end to this string of policy decisions by the Anarchists. Will we sit by passively as they deregulate the selling of alcohol so that it is obtainable by minors? So that it can be sold by anyone and everyone to anyone and everyone? Will we sit passively by as this party deregulates the food and beverage industry? Make it so that such businesses are held accountable to no one? So that they can put anything at all in the foods and beverages they produce and not disclose it to the consumers? We urge you all to vote down this bill!" -Nicola Surgeon, SNP Leader |

| Message | "We recognize the SNP's striving for a lack of freedom. We take the fact that they want a nanny-state very seriously, and we wish that their party goes into the oblivion of political failure very quickly." -Penny Webb |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, We disagree with half of the bill but we want to see an end to abortion. Aaron Richardson Deputy Prime Minster |
| Date | 05:04:24, June 08, 2015 CET | From | Solentian National Party (SNP) | To | Debating the Health Act of 3858 |
| Message | "We find it interesting that rather than propose legislation of their own to end abortion the Liberal Democrat Party would rather pass a bill that would allow children to purchase alcohol and would allow companies and corporations to put whatever they want into food and beverages and not have to disclose it. This is very telling about their party." -Nicola Surgeon, SNP Leader |
| Date | 09:38:06, June 08, 2015 CET | From | The Liberal Socialists | To | Debating the Health Act of 3858 |
| Message | "Once again, APS are going down how we would like the world - Libertarian - but there is once again something called ethics & common sense." - Universe Party |

| Message | "People, this is NOT a health act! This is an ANTI health act! I do not know how you cannot see this. I mean - if we don't have beverage labeling and no tobacco regulations, how can we know the corperations won't put toxic in it? This is not good for anyone! Stop this!" - Leader of Universe Party, Neil Tyson |
| Date | 19:24:07, June 08, 2015 CET | From | Conservative Party of Solentia | To | Debating the Health Act of 3858 |
| Message | "The CPS, after consideration of the points raised by the Universe Party and the SNP has decided to oppose this bill. The small gains in removing government funding of abortions and contraceptives are made meaningless by the heavy harms that this bill will do in deregulation of vital areas. We would gladly support a bill that presented those two important articles alone, and hope that the Liberal Democrat Party will join us." Karm Parodi, CPS Legislative Lead |
