| Message | I am quitting the right alliance. I feel the Republicans feel that we are not worth enough. I will be working with the patriotic party. But not as a part of the right alliance. We feel we have been let down by the Republicans. Any every bill we propose the Republicans vote no. They are the reason for which we are quitting the right alliance. |
| Date | 09:45:54, March 26, 2017 CET | From | Democratic People's Movement | To | Debating the civil rights protection bill |
| Message | We invite the Patriotic Party to also dissociate with the Republicans and join ourselves and the Foundation Party in a new faction. Kathleen Wiley Majority Speaker of the House |
| Date | 09:51:43, March 26, 2017 CET | From | Foundation Party | To | Debating the civil rights protection bill |
| Message | We are in a partnership with the Patriotic party. We hold that very dear. So we can be with you if you accept it. |

| Message | It is co,platelet unnecessary of the Foundation Party to quit the right alliance. We will have our differences, that's why we are two separate parties. To blame your failures on us is quite frankly naive. We will move forward as a centrist force in Baltusia and will not fall by petty decisions as such. Thank you. Xi Xiang Republican Leader |
| Date | 14:07:04, March 26, 2017 CET | From | Foundation Party | To | Debating the civil rights protection bill |
| Message | The Republicans think it's cool by not saying anything in the debate phase. We would have listened. The way the Republicans acted in the budget is unfortunate |
| Date | 14:32:58, March 26, 2017 CET | From | Baltusian International Democratic Party | To | Debating the civil rights protection bill |
| Message | I'm sorry, but when your party is trying to represent Baltusia on the international stage, and try to oppose cuts to education, then you can say that we 'think we are cool'. Xi Xiang Republican Leader |
| Date | 14:48:28, March 26, 2017 CET | From | Baltusian International Democratic Party | To | Debating the civil rights protection bill |
| Message | We wouldn't be comfortable working with a party which openly welcomes working with the National Party, the party which called homosexuality a 'sin' and have made other offensive comments. Anything to get into government. We say that the Foundation Party should get a foundation- the foundation of a spine. (Republicans erupt in laughter) Mary Jones Justice Minister |
| Date | 15:02:50, March 26, 2017 CET | From | Democratic People's Movement | To | Debating the civil rights protection bill |
| Message | Perhaps if the Republicans spent more time actually focusing on their job- representing Baltusians- and less on their little holidays to the Security Council, they would understand what the Baltusian people want. No amount of lies about 'equality' will change the fact that Hosianism forbids sodomy! The Republicans are clueless, out of touch and we recommend the Patriots get out while they can! Kathleen Wiley Majority Speaker of the House |
| Date | 15:07:50, March 26, 2017 CET | From | Baltusian International Democratic Party | To | Debating the civil rights protection bill |
| Message | Clueless? Out of Touch? I ask the National Party to come back to us when they've won 19 Presidential elections. Mary Jones Justice Minister |
| Date | 16:11:20, March 26, 2017 CET | From | Foundation Party | To | Debating the civil rights protection bill |
| Message | We are doing what is right. We have no wish to be a part of the cabinet. We will be happy to be a solely legislative party. Look at this bill. We suggested something that would protect our democracy. But the Republicans are opposing it. We have no problem with the Republican opposition. But especially the budget is not of the foundation party. It is for baltusia. |
| Date | 16:14:58, March 26, 2017 CET | From | Democratic People's Movement | To | Debating the civil rights protection bill |
| Message | Summed up in the comments by the Justice Minister is the petty nature of the Republicans. From their point of view, politics is a game. All these people care about is winning elections and making money- not the concerns of the Baltusian people. No wonder the electorate is deserting them, especially when they are constantly opposing those who want to make things better for our citizens: such as ourselves and the Foundation Party. Kathleen Wiley Majority Speaker of the House |
| Date | 16:22:18, March 26, 2017 CET | From | Foundation Party | To | Debating the civil rights protection bill |
| Message | I am sorry. I shouldn't have been so inconsiderate. I hope the Republicans will understand. I am sorry. I am just frustrated that my bills don't pass. I apologise to the Congress |
| Date | 17:52:06, March 26, 2017 CET | From | Patriotic Party of Baltusia | To | Debating the civil rights protection bill |
| Message | We thank the Foundation Party for their magnanimity. I agree it is very difficult to get a bill passed and it is especially frustrating when it is something you really believe will make a difference and you think a partner is not backing you on it. But we are all different parties with different ideas and that is why we disagree. But we also agree on a great many things and that is why we should stay together to have the voting Bloc power to push legislation through. Therefore i ask the Foundation Party to reconsider their resignations from cabinet and the Right Alliance. If not I will respect that decision but propose a new cabinet, which I hope you would be able to back in light of our close co-operation President William F. Mace |

| Message | The National Party and the Foundation Party can clearly work well together and the Patriotic Party cooperate well with both. Why should we not govern alongside Popular Consensus- who have also shown a positive approach to governing- and forget the elitist Republicans? Kathleen Wiley Majority Speaker of the House |
| Date | 22:35:56, March 26, 2017 CET | From | Baltusian International Democratic Party | To | Debating the civil rights protection bill |
| Message | I urge the Patriots to dismiss this request by the National Party. The Patriots and Republicans have been in a very close partnership since founding, you aren't going to break that Mrs Wiley. Xi Xiang Leader of the Republican Party of Baltusia |
| Date | 23:09:42, March 26, 2017 CET | From | Democratic People's Movement | To | Debating the civil rights protection bill |
| Message | Then the Patriots will lose seats at the next election. Kathleen Wiley Majority Speaker of the House |
| Date | 10:55:39, March 27, 2017 CET | From | Patriotic Party of Baltusia | To | Debating the civil rights protection bill |
| Message | Members of Congress, The matter in hand is this bill and we seem to be losing sight of that. Our party is all for freedom of people to protest and air their views but to strip the police of powers in this way could be very dangerous for public safety. Thank you Samson Moriarty, Home Secretary |
