| Message | If a citizen does not wish to serve in the military, whether it be combatant or non-combatant, then the government should NOT force them to. |

| Message | Thoouts Aksiomatikos, We sympathize with the Popular Union's argument in favor of this bill. But we are also aware that patriotism has shown itself to be as natural as breathing for Coburans over the centuries, and refusing a call to defend the country would be more shameful than death for any respectable subject of the Lord's Majesty. We would like to support this bill, but unfortunately we believe it may go slightly too far against the country's culture and heritage. Kalliklē Mankhat MA Irkawa |

| Message | We do not wish to offend the character of our nation, or our Majesty, but those who are vehemently and unshakably opposed to violence, or even the association with violence, should not be obliged to serve. |

| Message | Thoouts Aksiomatikos, We believe The People's Choice party's argument is compelling and we are committed to finding a workable compromise. We would only ask LPE to allow the EK a bit more time to develop a compromise policy. Kalliklē Mankhat MA Irkawa |

| Message | Thoouts Aksiomatikos, We asked for more time to explore possible compromises but the LPE chose to move to a vote anyway. Therefore we must vote no. Kalliklē Mankhat MA Irkawa |

| Random fact: By default the head of government is the ultimate authority within a national government. In general terms, heads of government are expected to consult with cabinet colleagues (including those from other parties) before making significant decisions but they remain responsible for government action. |
