| Message | We agree that the split of the seats is fair, but we cannot work with fascists, so we will be voting no. |

| Message | Just so you know, our usage of fasces stands for law and order, not fascism. |

| Message | The Swedish national police department uses it, and they are not fascist. The Swiss canton of St. Gallen's flag has it. And those are just two of very many examples. We are a democratic party, and we want to fight crime. We vote very much like Radical Conservative Party for example, but you can obviously work together with them. Also, would you consider a coalition with communists then? |

| Message | Your name is merely suggestive. Your voting history is a much clearer indicator of your political leanings. Your similarity to the RCP hardly changes one's opinion, as they could with some justification be described as fascist. Democracy is not necessarily a contra-indicator of fascism. We have worked with the RCP before, but historically they have been the only conservative element of the coalition and hence their power was minimal. Now that there are three seriously conservative parties in the country, they become much more dangerous (as we can see from the laws that were recently passed). I would consider a coalition with communists depending on their actual policies, and depending on the communist strength in parliament (I wouldn't want to give a communist (or fascist) party or parties significant executive power if they already have significant legislative power, that is just common sense). |

| Message | If you do look at our voting history, you will see that we want to fight crime and that we want to maintain laws against drugs and such. You will also see that we are nationalistic, and that we want to have mandatory military service. Why is that so bad? |
