| Date | 22:18:53, November 11, 2016 CET | From |  Socialist People's Party (SPP) | To | Debating the Platform of the Victory Party |
| Message | Article 1 is appalling and the destruction of democracy |
| Date | 02:26:19, November 12, 2016 CET | From | Party for Victory | To | Debating the Platform of the Victory Party |
| Message | Expecting all citizens to contribute and show their loyalty to the Republic hardly qualifies as "the destruction of democracy". |
| Date | 03:45:49, November 12, 2016 CET | From | Libertarian Party | To | Debating the Platform of the Victory Party |
| Message | I am split on this bill |
| Date | 03:46:52, November 12, 2016 CET | From | Libertarian Party | To | Debating the Platform of the Victory Party |
| Message | The current Regulations on stock exchanges is enough we need not make it fully public owned |
| Date | 10:21:20, November 12, 2016 CET | From | Socialist People's Party (SPP) | To | Debating the Platform of the Victory Party |
| Message | It's not showing patriotism, it's making people risk their lives for a petty reason, when simple dimplomacy can be used. Also, banning violence and hard core pornography? That's dystopian |
| Date | 11:14:03, November 12, 2016 CET | From |  Democratic Socialist Party of Rutania | To | Debating the Platform of the Victory Party |
| Message | We have our reservations about elements of this bill, but overall this benefits Rutanian workers. We will vote in favour. |
| Date | 12:08:10, November 12, 2016 CET | From | Party for Victory | To | Debating the Platform of the Victory Party |
| Message | Banning violent pornography from being shown on TV is dystopian? It seems the melodrama of the Socialist People's Party knows no bounds. |
| Date | 12:13:26, November 12, 2016 CET | From | Socialist People's Party (SPP) | To | Debating the Platform of the Victory Party |
| Message | It's an attack on free speech, all pornography should be allowed, our people shouldn't be cattle or little children who can't handle violence and sexuality |
| Date | 12:15:26, November 12, 2016 CET | From | Party for Victory | To | Debating the Platform of the Victory Party |
| Message | This is about pornography on TV. If the leader of the Socialist People's Party supports the idea of children watching rape pornography on television, there is somethnig disturbingly wrong with him. |
| Date | 12:18:33, November 12, 2016 CET | From | Socialist People's Party (SPP) | To | Debating the Platform of the Victory Party |
| Message | Do you think porn will be shown on children's channels? You're not required to watch it, or even purchase the channel which shows it. |
| Date | 12:24:44, November 12, 2016 CET | From | Party for Victory | To | Debating the Platform of the Victory Party |
| Message | It will be shown on channels that children have access to. Believing otherwise is naïve. This discussion shows that there is no room for co-operation between our parties in the near future, despite our shared laborist ideology. We will endorse the conservatives in the next elections. |
| Date | 12:55:45, November 12, 2016 CET | From | Great Rutania Party | To | Debating the Platform of the Victory Party |
| Message | We don't agree with article one but we agree with almost every other article. I think we will get on very well. |
