| Message | But you don't do any thing out of ideological motivation. You're only in it for the votes... |
| Date | 13:08:12, February 14, 2006 CET | From | Independent Capitalist Party | To | Debating the Liberalisation of Marriage |
| Message | Lies, the Aloria Coalition is for the preservation of the Great Confederacy, this means leaving things up to local gov'ts even though all regions probably will have the same laws on their books. |

| Message | I like these ammendments |

| Message | And, the ICP proves my point. |
| Date | 21:38:43, February 14, 2006 CET | From | Independent Capitalist Party | To | Debating the Liberalisation of Marriage |
| Message | Look, there is NO PARTY IN ALORIA that is for restricting divorce. However, we want to keep it at the local levels for the sake of preserving the Confederacy. First it's marraige, then we eliminate local gov'ts all together, then the fascists will try to take power and oppress. That is why a Confederacy preserves freedom. The less nat'l gov't, the less chance of nat'l abuse. |

| Message | However a national government could simply revoke the rights of the local governments and enforce its own anti-divorce laws anyway. |
| Date | 22:22:50, February 14, 2006 CET | From | Independent Capitalist Party | To | Debating the Liberalisation of Marriage |
| Message | Which would bring about the end of the Confederacy. Sorry, the ICP is against this. |
| Date | 23:36:17, February 14, 2006 CET | From | Aloria Green Socialist Party | To | Debating the Liberalisation of Marriage |
| Message | You are willing to oppress the people because of your dogma? |
| Date | 23:44:47, February 14, 2006 CET | From | Independent Capitalist Party | To | Debating the Liberalisation of Marriage |
| Message | Like I said, there is no party left in Aloria that will oppress. All the Confederacy does is allow people to choose on a more local level. |
| Date | 23:49:36, February 14, 2006 CET | From | Aloria Green Socialist Party | To | Debating the Liberalisation of Marriage |
| Message | Do we trust the local politicians though? Let people choose for themselves here- that is the most local level. |
| Date | 23:51:11, February 14, 2006 CET | From | Independent Capitalist Party | To | Debating the Liberalisation of Marriage |
| Message | In a particracy like Aloria, it is rule by the parties. Everyone votes the party line. Seeing as no national parties (parties big enough to ever get enough say in local gov'ts) are pro-divorce, we'll allow it just on a more local level. |
