| Message | How does the prime minister, Freyja, respond to the fact that there was no coverage of his shady dealing on national television, whilst opposition newspapers keep pointing that out. Our prime minister is frankly uncapable of running a democracy and is a authoritarian sold-out, the people of this country need a Labour government. |

| Message | Again, this outrageous proposal continues to offend the Prime Minister and openly disrespects her. We expect someone from this "labour party" to state his name so that we can sue him for slaunder. You should be ashamed of yourself. Our police departments are looking for you dear "social democrats". Björk Þórirsson Forseti(President) |

| Message | We are a party of the people and the voice of opposition you heard was nobody else than the whole populace of our republic. But we are not afraid of the government at all, they are so desperate that they hung democracy for ice cream as one of their ministers put it. What the government calls libel is nothing more or less than a lie. It is clear that we need new leadership and get the ice cream prime minister and Mr. Hassan, our president, from power to create a modern and prosperous society. Yes, Mr. president Hassan we do disrespect you, you are not an impartial figurehead as the constitution would suggest and act in despair when challenged with hard facts. Why don't you join miss ice cream on your fully state-funded trip to Hutori. Yes, all the opposition newspapers now report about this mess and corruption. There is only one reasonable solution to that, vote for SD! This time without regards, -Violetta Elentinusdottir SD |
