| Date | 08:43:49, February 21, 2006 CET | From | Covenanters (IA) | To | Debating the Republic Bill |
| Message | This is an utter disgrace. You should all be tried for high treason and we should re-introduce hanging or shooting squads! |
| Date | 11:20:46, February 21, 2006 CET | From | Luthori Democratic Party | To | Debating the Republic Bill |
| Message | This bill may or may not pass but it signifies our party membership's dissatisfaction with us being part of the cabinet whilst Luthori remains such an anti-democratic nation. The LDP will resign from the cabinet if this bill is defeated and will not serve in any future cabinet whilst the HOS remains a non-elected position. |

| Date | 14:05:33, February 21, 2006 CET | From | Luthori Green Party | To | Debating the Republic Bill |
| Message | A constitutional monarchy such as ours is not undemocratic. |
| Date | 14:17:56, February 21, 2006 CET | From | Covenanters (IA) | To | Debating the Republic Bill |
| Message | Some of the finest democracies in the world are constitutional monarchies, and most of the dirtiest hellholes are republics. Besides, our system of election by two-thirds of the legislature is more akin to the German Chancellor than a monarch. |
| Date | 15:42:59, February 21, 2006 CET | From | Shuggoth Progressive Party | To | Debating the Republic Bill |
| Message | I don't think quitting the Cabinet will help much LDP. On the other hand, the parties that are voting yes to this could work on their platforms, and target voters that are not currently represented, and grow their constituencies. Looks like we only need an extra 106 votes! |
| Date | 17:39:58, February 21, 2006 CET | From | Covenanters (IA) | To | Debating the Republic Bill |
| Message | I'm surprised the PNF would pass the election of the HoS from the political elite to mere subjects. Call yourselves fascists? |
| Date | 18:23:15, February 21, 2006 CET | From | Seosavists Republican party | To | Debating the Republic Bill |
| Message | No one is saying we have to get rid of the royal family, it's just that we think he shouldn't be our head of state. |
