| Date | 03:45:53, October 10, 2018 CET | From | Socialist Party of Kalistan (SPoK) | To | Debating the Legislative Changes Act of 4467 |
| Message | We would oppose an alteration of the Presidential Prerogative. Without it, the President is a figurehead, with it, the President is a seat to be sought after and build electoral coalitions around. It is important to maintain the prerogative. |

| Date | 23:00:26, October 11, 2018 CET | From | Agramontian League (AL) | To | Debating the Legislative Changes Act of 4467 |
| Message | We would consider supporting an increase in the size of the legislature but not without an explanation of how this would be funded and why it would actually be beneficial beyond making the National Assembly more representative. Guillermo Berrocal, Leader of the Agramontian League |
| Date | 23:54:24, October 12, 2018 CET | From | Kalistan First | To | Debating the Legislative Changes Act of 4467 |
| Message | Friends from the Agramontian Leauge, right now we have a 290,010,864,926 KRB surplus in government spending. I can assure you that we have the money to handle the increase in the size of a legislature. Secondly, right now the number of active parties increases in Kalistan almost yearly. People from each region in this nation should have the opportunity to have their party heard and have a good number of representatives in this house. John Jackson, KRF |

| Message | Just because we can don't mean we ought to. The Socialist Party opposes. |
