| Message | Mr Speaker, We can not have early election every single year. There is a majority government that have proven that they can run the country. There is no need for a early election. OOC: Voter turnout will be low as well. |

| Message | Mr Speaker, We haven't actually had an early election in a decade, and we have a coalition government. |
| Date | 13:07:20, April 11, 2016 CET | From | Conservative Right | To | Debating the Call for early elections, October 4011 |
| Message | Mr Speaker, I'm not sure why that matters? It's still in a majority. There is no need for this. |

| Message | Mr Speaker, We have a responsibility to make sure those constituents without an MP are represented. |

| Message | Mr Speaker, Also, polling indicates every party (other than the CR) would gain votes from the PLM's former voters. |
| Date | 13:28:15, April 11, 2016 CET | From | Conservative Right | To | Debating the Call for early elections, October 4011 |
| Message | Mr Speaker, So you admit that this is nothing other than a political stunt... |
| Date | 13:37:15, April 11, 2016 CET | From | United Centre | To | Debating the Call for early elections, October 4011 |
| Message | Mr Speaker, Stunt? No. Last ditch attempt at getting rid of a fascist? Yes |
| Date | 13:38:39, April 11, 2016 CET | From | Conservative Right | To | Debating the Call for early elections, October 4011 |
| Message | Mr Speaker, Once more we are a democratic conservative party who values freedom and tradional values |
| Date | 13:49:42, April 11, 2016 CET | From | United Centre | To | Debating the Call for early elections, October 4011 |
| Message | Mr Speaker, How is it free or democratic to force people into the military against their wishes? |
| Date | 19:32:06, April 11, 2016 CET | From | National Party of Luthori | To | Debating the Call for early elections, October 4011 |
| Message | Mr. Speaker, Parliamentary rules dictate early elections for when a major party disbands. The Nats are growing tired of hearing constant nonsense from these backbenchers that call themselves "Unity." Your party has no respect for Luthori and continues to undermine the good work the government has accomplished. I yield. |
| Date | 19:34:32, April 11, 2016 CET | From | United Centre | To | Debating the Call for early elections, October 4011 |
| Message | Mr Speaker, Two small parties have lost their seats. That is a total of 96 seats. That is enough to create what would be the second largest party. Please explain how we have no respect for Luthori. Ryan Lawson Unity Member |
| Date | 20:45:21, April 11, 2016 CET | From | Conservative Right | To | Debating the Call for early elections, October 4011 |
| Message | Mr Speaker, You didn't lose your seats Mr Lawson. You gave them up and that is a true betrayal to your voters. There shall be no new election. Imperial Chancellor, George William Urquhart |
| Date | 21:03:38, April 11, 2016 CET | From | United Centre | To | Debating the Call for early elections, October 4011 |
| Message | Mr Speaker, A true betrayal of the voters is saying they do not get the chance to fill in their seats once more. Ryan Lawson Unity Member |
| Date | 21:17:56, April 11, 2016 CET | From | Conservative Right | To | Debating the Call for early elections, October 4011 |
| Message | Mr Speaker, So you admit that you betrayed your voters? Just throwing their votes away is what you did. Imperial Chancellor George William Urquhart |
| Date | 21:21:09, April 11, 2016 CET | From | United Centre | To | Debating the Call for early elections, October 4011 |
| Message | Mr Speaker, I'm sorry, but unless you have any substance to your argument I doubt this is very needed. Ryan Lawson Unity Member |
