| Message | "Nonsense. The SWM seek to run to the polls every time the wind blows in a direction they dislike. It is an affront to democracy." Jenstor McKivan, Unionist Legislative Lead |

| Message | Although logic would dictate that a party with 0 seats would support this billl, the NRP will oppose. It is an affront to the legislative process and most likely based on political opportunism. I call on parties to oppose this bill so that the SWM can finish their term in the normal manner. Kurt Meyer, NRP Leader |

| Message | So instead you'll endorse someone that will almost certainly give you the HoG position should they win. Very cunning. |

| Message | Not really intended that way. I think you're thinking into this too much. We'll leave Solentia if we lose. |

| Message | This is insanity! Just because you lose an election, you'll disband your party? You almost have a majority of seats in the senate and the country seems to be warming to your policies. In spite of all this, you'll disband because you're a sore loser? I expected more from the SWM. |

| Message | Not a sore loser, I'll just never get in power due to my party's unpopularity with other parties. So for the sanity of me (the user) I will move my playtime to another country. |
