| Message | Local governments deserve the right to determine how to deal with their criminals. Our party is against giving rights to those who violate the rights of others - but we acknowledge the importance of local autonomy. We have decided to vote against this bill. |
| Date | 05:56:58, November 04, 2015 CET | From | Coalition for Unity and Prosperity | To | Debating the Right to Vote for the Formerly Incarcerated |
| Message | Indeed, no rights for those who violate the rights of others. An interesting thought, but one which the CUP denies as it logically leads to nothing short of violence and death against criminals. Indeed, the CUP insists that every person has a right to fair trial and humane treatment, which shall never be abrogated despite the crime or violation committed. |

| Message | We agree, everyone deserves a fair trial. Criminals have already been charged and judged. You still have not provided justification for forcing your liberal degenerate policies on local authorities. |
| Date | 16:04:36, November 04, 2015 CET | From | Coalition for Unity and Prosperity | To | Debating the Right to Vote for the Formerly Incarcerated |
| Message | To be honest, the CUP finds strictly devolving every issue to "The decision is left to the local governments." to be frankly, boring. The CUP believes in discussion and comparing political beliefs, not talking to a drab wall with the same answer to every proposal. |

| Random fact: Party candidates for head of state elections are not visible to the public. This means that you cannot see who will run and who will not, which adds another strategic element to the elections. |
