| Message | Youths do not have the mental capacity to be involved in politics and we would rather have the voting age increased instead of decreased. |
| Date | 23:36:02, May 25, 2018 CET | From | NLP | To | Debating the Lowering the Voting Age Act |
| Message | We would also like to point out that this would allow 16-18 year olds to concurrently work and attend education - allowing for students to gain working experience as part of their education (should they choose to) |
| Date | 01:15:44, May 26, 2018 CET | From | Gaduridos Labour [PAG] | To | Debating the Lowering the Voting Age Act |
| Message | Labour can support this proposal. Many citizens of this age are out of school or completing school based apprenticeships. They should have the rights and responsibilities that we all enjoy. |

| Random fact: When you join the game, you will find yourself with only zero seats. That's because your party's representatives haven't been elected yet. You need to establish your party's position on issues by proposing several bills that your party wants passed and sending them to vote. This raises your visibility and if you do it enough, you will win seats at the next election. |
