| Message | Mss. President, We can't agree with this Bill, since this would mean a massive militarization of our society. We can't see why the RNM would propose such an act in time of peace? |
| Date | 14:49:57, May 28, 2018 CET | From | Republican New Movement | To | Debating the Military Modernization Act 4400 |
| Message | The GPA's claim is misleading... This bill ensures a modern military in a dangerous World. |

| Message | Labour at this time will be rejecting this proposal by the Conservative-Populist bloc. There is no legitimate basis for this legislation but for electoral politics and Labour refuses to play politics with the security of this nation! This will not reasonably make our nation safer, and will compromise our deeply held Gaduridan values. Call us conservatives for the nation of Gaduridos that we love, not the abomination that this bill seeks to transform us into. The RNM radicals are posing a threat to this nation by posturing us as an enemy of world for votes! Madame President, Labour will not have it. Labour will always stand on the side of best independent advice and will stand against crackpot proposals such as these. - Ismael Ros Labour Nominee for Defence Minister |

| Date | 05:50:10, May 29, 2018 CET | From | NLP | To | Debating the Military Modernization Act 4400 |
| Message | We will break up this piece of legislation and put certain parts up for vote at a time, to ensure some of this gets passed. Therefore, we will vote no at this time. |

| 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". |
