| Date | 21:04:35, October 17, 2017 CET | From | Communist Party of Gaduridos | To | Debating the Cabinet Proposal of November 4288 |
| Message | This is symbolic of a hunger for power and of greedy zealots. It is an affront to democracy and the will of the people that the largest party is excluded from the cabinet. Clearly there is a regressive, desperate desire to retain the corrupt and stagnant status quo. We will not forget this political stitch up by a bunch of undemocratic centrists and nor will the people of Gaduridos who have had their voice ignored simply because they wanted change. |
| Date | 21:42:02, October 17, 2017 CET | From | Socialist Republican Party | To | Debating the Cabinet Proposal of November 4288 |
| Message | The will of the people must always win against the reactionaries. |
| Date | 16:09:45, October 19, 2017 CET | From | Partido Nacional de Bentara | To | Debating the Cabinet Proposal of November 4288 |
| Message | 24.37% doesn't sound like the will of the people to me. |
| Date | 16:22:07, October 19, 2017 CET | From | Communist Party of Gaduridos | To | Debating the Cabinet Proposal of November 4288 |
| Message | Being the party with the most seats is a good indicator of popularity. Of all the parties we have the biggest mandate to be of the government. |
| Date | 16:22:57, October 19, 2017 CET | From | Communist Party of Gaduridos | To | Debating the Cabinet Proposal of November 4288 |
| Message | To go out of your way to exlclude the largest party also indicate undemocratic credentials. The Communist Party would never act in such a childish and petty manner. |
| Date | 17:04:43, October 19, 2017 CET | From | Socialist Republican Party | To | Debating the Cabinet Proposal of November 4288 |
| Message | Even the Social Democratic Party who stood to gain from this voted against it. |
| Date | 20:04:42, October 19, 2017 CET | From | Partido Nacional de Bentara | To | Debating the Cabinet Proposal of November 4288 |
| Message | Three-quarters of the population looked at the Communist platform and said "we would prefer democratic and free governance". If the Communists are such democratic idealists, they will realise they have no mandate. |
| Date | 21:32:02, October 19, 2017 CET | From | Communist Party of Gaduridos | To | Debating the Cabinet Proposal of November 4288 |
| Message | From these bizarre comments we can only conclude that the PNB leadership is deluded. The Communist Party has never criticised democracy - in fact we have only spoken in favour of it. The truth is it is your party that wants to exclude a particular party from government - the party which received more votes than any other. PNB is the anti-democratic party here. |

| Random fact: "OOC", "IC" and "IG" are commonly-used acronyms in Particracy. "OOC" refers to comments, discussions and actions which are out-of-character, meaning they are done player-to-player rather than party-to-party. "IC" refers to in-character interactions (ie. party-to-party). Similarly, "IG" means in-game, although this term may also simply refer to what happens in the actual game interface, as opposed to on the forum or elsewhere. "RP" just means "role-play". |
