| Date | 10:44:20, February 19, 2018 CET | From | Anarchist Party | To | Debating the Republican Party Reform |
| Message | Our party supports delegation of responsibilities to local authorities. However article 5, prohibiting the use of nuclear weapons, goes against our party policies of keeping a strong and independent Vanuku, as such we have decided to vote against this bill. |
| Date | 11:03:33, February 19, 2018 CET | From | Zhtál-Merlkai Tjarziprta | To | Debating the Republican Party Reform |
| Message | This is an over-arching bill summarising our key policies. So we understand it is difficult for another party to support them all. However, we welcome the spokesperson from Vanuku first's support of our local government proposals and welcome the formation of another liberal minded party in Vanuku. Gus De Smet Republican Party |
