| Message | For the Party for Liberation of the People the current legislation should remain in effect. Nuclear weaponry and use of WMD are found to be helpful as a deterrent for invaders. Also, nuclear research in itself is a great asset to a knowledge based economy. Therefore, we are againts changing current legislation |
| Date | 18:08:43, May 24, 2018 CET | From | Progressive Socialist Party | To | Debating the Nuclear Weaponry Proliferation Act |
| Message | Mr speaker, While we still believe in the use of nuclear research on the basis of energy or medicine, we do not on the basis of violence and weaponry. These policies are directly aimed at cutting back our nuclear arms program, and do therefore not harm our knowledge based economy, as the honorable gentleman from the PLP suggests.Therefore we do hope to gain the backing of parties, in name of peace and prosperity for the great nation of Lodamun |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, The Ecosocialist Party supports our comrades of the PSP in this. We, also, believe that violence is never a solution, and although we should be protected against foreign enemies, the risk of developing a nuclear program is too high to proceed. |

| Message | Mr Speaker, Once this world was filled with those who saw Gaia for he true beauty and respected the kind spirit of the earth. Who understood that nothing but her grace was what had brought us the wealth of a comfortable living. In this modern day and age this has changed. Our heritage stands on the brink of total annihilation. We must defend ourselves against those who have fallen under the false worship of a divine that created us above the natural world opposed to a part of it. Within this line, nuclear defense is the ultimate tool. It will force the international community to respect our culture! We shall stand strong for those without a voice. We shall fight those who oppose mother Gaia WE SHALL .... .ahum well. ... hmm I do not need to raise my voice like that you say? It might scare the neighbours.... oh.... excuse me mr. speaker...... where was I. Well. Mr. speaker, we are against this proposal. May the spirits of life guide you on your vote. |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, The New Green Party of Lodamun has always been an advocate for peace and against the use of biological, chemical, and nuclear weapons. We are naturally against this proposal. Hazel Keson, NGPoL Chairwoman |

| Date | 23:59:58, May 24, 2018 CET | From | Progressive Socialist Party | To | Debating the Nuclear Weaponry Proliferation Act |
| Message | Mr. Speaker, The PSP is uncertain what the NGPoL chairwoman is trying to say with her comment. This proposal would abolish nuclear weapons in the country, which she says she supports, yet then she says she is against such a proposal. The Progressive Socialist Party is requesting some clarification on the side of NGPoL |
