| Date | 23:23:12, July 31, 2015 CET | From |  Liberal Party of Hutori | To | Debating the Royalty Reformation Act |
| Message | Absolutely positively not. The NCP chief mandate is to maintain thr Monarchy. Monarchy not Republicianism is Hutori's historical political guide and as long ss the NCP exists we vehemently oppose this Bill and any others looking to abolish the Monarchy. Thomas Morrow Leader of the NCP |

| Message | Then perhaps Choice can explain why Monarchies are the only constant in Hutori... ANY instance of Republicianism has been short lived before it was abandoned. Thomas Morrow Leader of the NCP |
| Date | 01:47:04, August 02, 2015 CET | From | Hutori Republican Alliance | To | Debating the Royalty Reformation Act |
| Message | Consistent suppression of the rights of the citizenry is not a justification. How many laws have been reformed over the course of our nation's history because of their unjust history. The unelected nature of the head of state is no different. |
