| Message | Mr. Speaker, The Democratic Socialists should be given a seat in place of the Radical Centrists considering they have more seats. Celia Rivers President of the Commonwealth of Rutania |
| Date | 10:45:16, September 10, 2017 CET | From | Whig Party | To | Debating the Foreign Affairs Committee Selection |
| Message | Mr. Speaker, With all due respect to the President, we do believe all the evidence would point to the fact that the Democratic Socialist are on the far left extreme fringe of the nation, nearly half the nations representatives oppose the socialist, nearly communistic I dare say agenda of the honorable Celia Rivers and her compatriots in the cabinet. ---GCU Minority Whip Royce Blood |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, However it is done, the parties in my coalition will have a majority in the Committee. The seat which the Radical Centrists hold should be given to either the CRL or the Democratic Socialists. I will not allow racists to run Rutania's foreign policy. If you keep up trying to give the right wing a majority in the Committee, mark my words that it will be scrapped for the remainder of this term. Celia Rivers President of the Commonwealth of Rutania |
| Date | 12:35:26, September 10, 2017 CET | From | United Green & Agricultural Party | To | Debating the Foreign Affairs Committee Selection |
| Message | Mr. Speaker, I do not believe the Centrists are neutral enough. They have been inside of coalitions with other parties meaning that they are to some extent biased. The GCU is just determined to take control of this committee and I will not allow it. The people have chosen to give my coalition power for this term, not the alternative. I will be voting no unless change is made within it to give the current Cabinet coalition 5 out of 9 seats. The Centrists will side quite obviously with the right wing and so no committee will be made. Thank you. Celia Rivers President of the Commonwealth of Rutania |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, this committee will be toothless unless they can represent a 3/4ths vote in the Peoples Assembly, a necessity to pass any treaty. This 3/4ths majority cannot be reached without the support of the opposition to the current administration. Allowing the seat to a declared neutral party will not let Conservatives dictate foreign policy, since we would need the support of the administration to pass any treaty. If the administration seeks to pass any foreign policy initiatives or treaties it will be the support of the opposition that they will need to get it done, not their own. Knowing that why would make the Foreign Affairs Committee an echo chamber for the leftist currently in the administration? I would warn the President that should the UGAP and their socialist allies attempt to railroad foreign policy and sideline the opposition we still hold the power to derail any foreign policy being pushed by rejecting any said treaty. ---GCU Minority Whip |

| Message | Mr Speaker, With all due respect to both parties, my voting record has sided and opposed with both groups of conflict. |
| Date | 20:53:39, September 10, 2017 CET | From | United Green & Agricultural Party | To | Debating the Foreign Affairs Committee Selection |
| Message | Mr. Speaker, Even if the Radical Centrists are extremely neutral, that does not change the fact that the people decided that the Democratic Socialists and the CRL should have more seats. It is undemocratic to deny the Democratic Socialists a seat when they have been chosen by many people to represent them. I am not willing to negotiate on this point, the seat will be given to either the Democratic Socialists or the CRL or the committee will not be in place. This is an issue of democracy. Celia Rivers President of the Commonwealth of Rutania |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, If I may I would like to offer this alternative to the President and her Party since their main concern seems to be representation by the minor parties: 3 seats to the UGAP 2 seats to the GCU 1 seat to the CRL 1 seat to the DSPR 1 seat to the UDP 1 seat to the RCG This way all parties and all voters will be represented ---GCU Minority Whip Royce Blood |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, following an end of discourse on this debate we now submit this to the Peoples Assembly for a vote. |
