| Message | The base of all true democracies are the checks and balances provided by different institutions. A true an effective military nation requires a regulated military to ensure there is no abuse of power. Besides we are held accountable to the eyes of the world as well. Rep. Domenica Pickett (WB-45) |
| Date | 00:40:30, September 08, 2018 CET | From | Democratic-Social Party | To | Debating the Military Power Authorization Act of 4451 |
| Message | The power of our military is based upon their respect for our laws. We only support te article regarding paramilitaries, because regulation is necessary. We would endorse the bill if you removed all other articles. Rep. Heather Underwood (PD-38) Democratic Party House Leader |
| Date | 17:36:35, September 08, 2018 CET | From | Progressive Populist Party | To | Debating the Military Power Authorization Act of 4451 |
| Message | We cannot return to the use of Weapons of Mass Destruction in warfare. It is a moral outrage, it hurts our relationships abroad, and it encourages our enemies to do the same. These last two points make our nation less safe, and the first make the world less safe. Emphatically no. |

| Random fact: Particracy allows you to establish an unelected head of state like a monarch or a president-for-life, but doing this is a bit of a process. First elect a candidate with the name "." to the Head of State position. Then change your law on the "Structure of the executive branch" to "The head of state is hereditary and symbolic; the head of government chairs the cabinet" and change the "formal title of the head of state" to how you want the new head of state's title and name to appear (eg. King Percy XVI). |
