| Message | The Whig Party supports this measure |
| Date | 22:23:18, March 09, 2017 CET | From | Civic Republican League of Rutania | To | Debating the Reforms XXXVIII |
| Message | Statement by CRP Leader Arthur Smiley: This measure is an affront to our great republic's history and most deeply cherished values. Titles of hereditary nobility? I suppose next President Gill intends to declare himself King! The Civic Republicans will fight tooth and nail against this bill and against any measure that seeks to establish a Rutanian aristocracy. |
| Date | 23:42:48, March 09, 2017 CET | From | Whig Party | To | Debating the Reforms XXXVIII |
| Message | Statement from Whig Assembly member Lee Ann Coston: Our friends to the left should take notice that Rutania currently recognizes titles of hereditary nobility, this change would just allow titles to be granted and for them to have minor political rights. |
| Date | 01:08:33, March 10, 2017 CET | From | Civic Republican League of Rutania | To | Debating the Reforms XXXVIII |
| Message | Recognizing foreign titles is a far cry from granting them, as King Lucas I and his monarchist cronies should know. |
| Date | 22:37:41, March 10, 2017 CET | From | Rutanian National Front | To | Debating the Reforms XXXVIII |
| Message | The active promotion of an aristocracy by this Government is an affront to the common man of Rutania. The National Front recognizes that our great strength as a society lies in our ability to work together, as equals, for the empowerment of the state, so that it may advocate for us on the national stage. This further cements the status of the state as an instrument for a small few, rather than the greater good. The National Front shall make our objections known! |
