Message | I'm sure you'll agree that any flag/motto is better than no flag/motto, so I say we get right down to voting. |

Message | The flag is quite decent but I'm not so sure on the motto, I'd prefer something like "Sapere aude", which means "dare to know". |

Message | Tyranny by majority and God in the constitution are two things we refuse to countenance - however obliquely they are endorsed. |

Message | Do we have a two-thirds majority to pass this bill? |
Date | not recorded | From | Unified Communist Labor Party | To | Debating the Adoption of a National Flag and Motto |
Message | I'm afraid the MLP can't support this motto. We would prefer a variation on "Liberty, Equality, Community." We agree with the ASGP's concern about the word "God" in the motto. |

Message | Not that we can pass this law anyway. The active parties in the nation, put together, add up to less than 2/3 of the legislature. |
Date | not recorded | From | Communist Party of Endralon | To | Debating the Adoption of a National Flag and Motto |
Message | Right, now we have enough active parties. I'll think of a better motto. |

Message | I don't like Latin. I think it has to do with the fact that I don't understand it. |

Message | I'll take the silence as a no to the first question and a yes to the second. |
Date | not recorded | From | Communist Party of Endralon | To | Debating the Adoption of a National Flag and Motto |
Message | ASGP, any particular reason why you voted No? |
Date | not recorded | From | To | Debating the Adoption of a National Flag and Motto |
Message | I'm going to vote against, and use the following statement as my excuse for this petty bit of politicking: "Although our principles make us sympathetic to this bill, we feel more strongly that the national symbols of Endralon should be uniting rather than divisive." |
Date | not recorded | From | Communist Party of Endralon | To | Debating the Adoption of a National Flag and Motto |
Message | Ummm, so how are my proposed symbols divisive? (come on, they're better than NO symbols, aren't they?) |
Date | not recorded | From | To | Debating the Adoption of a National Flag and Motto |
Message | We're anarchists! Symbols are just tools for the evils of nationalism, so no symbols would be great as far as we're concerned. And last I checked the populace isn't exactly composed of Red Flag afficionados. |
Date | not recorded | From | Communist Party of Endralon | To | Debating the Adoption of a National Flag and Motto |
Message | But a plain gray flag is UGLY! And ugly flags make the working class depressed and prevent them from establishing optimistic anarchist communes. Or something... |

Message | Plus, you're greens too. And our current gray flag represents pollution! |
Date | not recorded | From | To | Debating the Adoption of a National Flag and Motto |
Message | Out current grey flag acknowledges that in life there are no black and white issues! It'd be even better if it was randomly mottled, and had different shades of grey. |

Message | We are ashamed to be in the same government with you. |
