| Message | What is the "innovation" part of this proposal? Beating up kids? These are just reactionary and outdated ideas of a bunch of capitalists. Horst Brader Spokesman for Education |
| Date | 14:02:49, August 22, 2017 CET | From | Konservative Partei | To | Debating the Educational Innovation |
| Message | The future of our children is at stake, and the simple fact is that torture works. We have a moral obligation to use the most effective methods available to bring delinquent youths into line and teach them that actions have consequences. A bit of pain is a small price to pay for a brighter future for our children and for our nation. - Lena Wessels, education spokesperson for the Konservative Partei. |

| Message | This time your new DPD friends did not support your 'innovation' but we are sure you will be able to pursuade that bunch of opportunists to join your new "fresh ideas". Horst Brader. |
| Date | 06:46:21, August 23, 2017 CET | From | Demokratische Partei Dundorfs | To | Debating the Educational Innovation |
| Message | I think Mr Brader might be confusing the blind allegiance of the dLV to the SED socialist cause. Or perhaps the clearly opportunist FDP who change support on a whim. The new KP/DPD government is not a marriage of convenience but the work of two parties with clear similarities in ideology. That said, I believe that time will show that while the KP and DPD are in alliance on many issues, namely in support of the free market, a strong military, and the preservation of a strong conservative moral compass, there will be areas of inherent disagreement. Tobias Bruhns DPD Leader |

| Message | Herr Bruhns, When your party believes that you can achieve your goals by joining a coalition with a party that states that slavery is ligimate my party calls that pure opportunism, Horst Brader. |
| Date | 10:52:39, August 23, 2017 CET | From | Demokratische Partei Dundorfs | To | Debating the Educational Innovation |
| Message | Herr Brader, I assume then that for my party to remain 'pure' in the eyes of the SED we should have continued to support your leadership despite an abysmal voting similarity between our parties? There is very little my party and yours agree on, and significantly more than my new party and the KP do agree on. An alliance along ideological lines is quite common. Though this concept may be new to you given your penchant for a one-party communist state. Opportunism would be a situation where you and the KP, or the dLV and the KP aligned for the purpose of power alone. |
| Date | 12:05:51, August 23, 2017 CET | From | Konservative Partei | To | Debating the Educational Innovation |
| Message | It's hard for the SED to claim the moral high ground when it has a long track record of oppressing and punishing people just because they happen to hold a religious belief. - Lena Wessels, education minister. |
