| Message | I think we need stability right now, so we should just wait. |

| Message | Moderate Party, Waiting means 166 seats will be unrepresented, meaning that heaps of people will have no representation whatsoever in the Congress. We need to have another election or many people will be unrepresented. |

| Message | I would also like to mention that if there is not an election Terrarokka and Lindar Valley will have no governors. It is inconvenient and I'm very sorry for my mistake but this election has to happen or Baltusia is no longer democratic. |

| Message | RAC, I think this shows how undemocratic your party really is. If you want Terrarokka and Lindar Valley to have no governor then so be it, it is your Cabinet's decision, not mine. By all means wait for next election but just know that by choosing to stop another election from happening you completely alienate those 166 seats. This is beginning to sound more like a dictatorship than anything else. And congratulations to our new government, I hope you can represent ALL the people in our society brilliantly, excluding the 17,000,000 citizens who votes for my party and the entirety of Lindar Valley and Terrarokka now that they will have no governor to represent them. I'm sure this term will be a great one. Perfect example of political bias within Cabinet. Julie Robinson Leader of the Civic Party |

| Message | This of course begs the question, is the government really on the side of the people, or are they only in it for political gain? I think that the Moderate Party and the RAC have shown us that they don't care about the general public by their choice to deny 17,000,000 people representation in the Congress. My party has earned their seats in the Congress, 166 to be exact, and if the Left Bloc are unwilling to let us take them up again then all I shall say is how many seats are you willing to lose just to grasp on to power for just a few more years? I doubt the general public will forget this bill being rejected by the time next election rolls around. The real question is how many of them will be willing to give the parties who refused 27% of voters representation in Congress? |

| Message | The left bloc has shown many times, we stand by the people and put country before party. Which is why we decline a new election. I'm sure the other blocs would do the same exact thing if they were in our position. In fact, they have before. |
| Date | 10:34:45, July 10, 2017 CET | From | Civic Party | To | Debating the Call for early elections, November 4238 |
| Message | So what happens to those 17,000,000 people? Do they just not exist for this term? |
| Date | 11:12:41, July 10, 2017 CET | From | Civic Party | To | Debating the Call for early elections, November 4238 |
| Message | The Left Bloc obviously no longer believe in representation of the people, or they would allow another election. My party would absolutely vote for another election, if it meant 17,000,000 people could be represented in Congress. The Left Bloc simply does not want centrists in the Congress, even at the cost that 27% of voters will have no representation whatsoever and Lindar Valley and Terrarokka will have no governor, leading to under representation. Alll because the Left Bloc is too proud to allow new elections. This term is a term of dictatorship. |

| Message | No it's not our fault that you lost all you seats as I said I am willing to support a early election if you agree as a one off to endorse me for president or we will let you take your seats in congress as independents meaning you can debate in parliament and will represent your constituents |

| Message | RAC, I would be willing to do this, but not happily. In duty towards the people I represent I will endorse your candidate if this bill passes, if it does not then I shall no longer endorse your candidate. Julie Robinson Leader of the Civic Party |
| Date | 12:08:09, July 10, 2017 CET | From | Civic Party | To | Debating the Call for early elections, November 4238 |
| Message | And I would like to make very clear, the seats are not "lost". They are being withheld by the Left Bloc so that they can hold an undemocratic dictatorship over Baltusia. Very simple. |
