| Message | URD is totally against this amendment, this is a break from the long Republican order of centuries and moreover it is just a way for the President of the Republic to remain in power even if he loses the election. |
| Date | 04:17:50, October 08, 2017 CET | From |  Parti de la Restauration National | To | Debating the Constitutional Monarchy Bill |
| Message | There is still an elected official for the vicereine/viceroi position. Which depends on national elections. The purpose of the viceroi/vicereine is to balance the power between the monarch and the legislative branch. However, the Party of the ruling monarch CANNOT run for HoS. |
| Date | 04:19:55, October 08, 2017 CET | From | Union Républicaine Démocratique | To | Debating the Constitutional Monarchy Bill |
| Message | I will make one last request before you changing dramatically the constitutional scenario of our nation: make new elections before putting this amendment into voting, it's just a simple request and nothing else. The URD will accept the outcome of the elections, whatever it is, what matters now and the opinion of the people before a change as big as this. But we make it clear that we will fight and much for the Republic. |
| Date | 04:23:00, October 08, 2017 CET | From | Parti de la Restauration National | To | Debating the Constitutional Monarchy Bill |
| Message | The PRC has just called for early elections last year. The people have had their say. However, the PRC will call for early elections, once the bills have passed. |
| Date | 04:28:20, October 08, 2017 CET | From | Union Républicaine Démocratique | To | Debating the Constitutional Monarchy Bill |
| Message | There must be elections before, because in the event of a Republican victory and there is no a Republican majority of two-thirds to revert this change, the monarchists will certainly stop the Republic's return. That means the elections should take place NOW! |
| Date | 04:33:25, October 08, 2017 CET | From | Parti de la Restauration National | To | Debating the Constitutional Monarchy Bill |
| Message | The PRC will no longer force the people of Lourenne to vote once again! Elections will take place at the correct and suggested time in 2 years. There the people will decide the fate of our country. |
| Date | 04:37:13, October 08, 2017 CET | From | Union Républicaine Démocratique | To | Debating the Constitutional Monarchy Bill |
| Message | People must decide or there will be a civil war! |
| Date | 04:40:00, October 08, 2017 CET | From | Parti de la Restauration National | To | Debating the Constitutional Monarchy Bill |
| Message | People must wait until the next national elections. There is no law or order if Early elections happen every 6 months. |
| Date | 04:42:23, October 08, 2017 CET | From | Union Républicaine Démocratique | To | Debating the Constitutional Monarchy Bill |
| Message | Besides, no one's forcing the people to vote, vote who wants. So we think it's more democratic to have elections now before anything. There is not a fair balance, see, the elections occurred when the URD was still reconstructing and now we are ready for a dispute and we will accept the outcome, but if elections do not occur, things get heavier for the government. |
| Date | 04:46:22, October 08, 2017 CET | From | Parti de la Restauration National | To | Debating the Constitutional Monarchy Bill |
| Message | Then the URD must be democratic and wait and abide by the law. We will all be reconstructed by the next election. |
| Date | 04:55:34, October 08, 2017 CET | From | Union Républicaine Démocratique | To | Debating the Constitutional Monarchy Bill |
| Message | It is in the Constitution the right to ask for early elections: Article 13: (3) All political parties shall have the right to call for an early election at any time. A call for early elections shall require the vote of a majority of the total number of members of the La Chambre des Députés in order to pass. Elections shall be scheduled upon the passage of such call for early elections. |
| Date | 05:03:38, October 08, 2017 CET | From | Parti de la Restauration National | To | Debating the Constitutional Monarchy Bill |
| Message | If such bill is proposed it must still be passed. |
| Date | 05:04:10, October 08, 2017 CET | From | Parti de la Restauration National | To | Debating the Constitutional Monarchy Bill |
| Message | The URD do not have the votes to do so. |
