| Message | Mr Speaker, We are in favor of this amendment. Monarchies belong to a feudal age. We respect Telamon's traditions but having an unelected monarch is just obsolete and undemocratic. Sven Solberg FF Leader |

| Message | Respected members of the house, let me bring to your kind attention that Telamon as you all know today was nothing short of a failed state with Landstings under different paramilitaries and the federal government non existent, it was then the Monarchy took an assertive action to garner people's support for a united Telamon, a battle for hearts and mind of people of Telamon was waged by none other than Mâjæšttät Birgitta Ohlsson herself, who took upon herself to neotiates peace deals with more than 100 different armed factions of Telamon and got them to lay down their weapons and helped heal the wounds of our great nation, monarchy is what held Telamon as the Telamon we know it today, from Midagoan's occupation to Anarchy it was always the Monarchy that has come to rescue of Telamon. History has taught us a lesson and we believe in not forgetting it, I would also like to remind the house that Mâjæšttät Birgitta Ohlsson had willingly given up her old title and accepted such a modest title to her name, it would be gross injustice not only towards Mâjæšttät Birgitta Ohlsson but also towards our people if we reconstitute monarchy, thank you |
