| Message | Mr. Speaker, No. Your stupid party has obtained less votes than ours despite running for elections for a far longer time than us. |

| Message | Mr Speaker, The ONOP seems to not understand that different states of Beluzia have different political leanings, and also considering how pluralistic this parliament is, there will definitely be massive vote splitting in elections. If I'm a 'stupid party', I wouldn't even be getting seats at all, would I? Maybe you should understand that our party has consistently had double digit support shares, with exceptions due to there being more than six political parties, and that our party is not like yours. We do not think that getting more seats than another is an indication that you somehow have the mandate to govern the country the way you want it, we look at how many seats we have, and what change we can do with that amount of seats. I think what's 'stupid' is that you don't even understand this nation's election system and how regions differ. No party, no matter how popular they are, can ever consistently maintain control on states they've previously won due to the introduction of new political parties on the scene. OOC: And do you know that the election system here is run by an algorithm which analyses the state's political leanings and randomly comes up with numbers? As such, it randomly determines the election results for Beluzia, and always gives an advantage to newer parties, because new parties are new and their positions have been set in place, whereas my positions have been set into position for a long time, so new parties will always draw away voters from established, existing parties!. But as time progresses, new parties will always end up moving up and down in terms of how many seats, because other new parties might enter, other existing parties might leave, others despite being very successful in the past drop to extremely low levels due to increased pluralism in the parliamentary system. So you really don't have the right to say I'm stupid for having less votes if you don't understand the whole electoral process of this game. And also, you can't call me stupid if you have ideas which have only enhanced hate, fear and division in real life. If you think I'm stupid, then where have you gone for university, or if you haven't gone, where are you planning to go? I'm going to the School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London, which ranks 23rd in the world for politics. If the views your Beluzian party espouse is what you believe in in real life, then are you going to say I'm stupid for going to a university called 'School of Oriental and African Studies'? Are you really going to tell me that African or Oriental people are inferior and not part of a common humanity and that a Eurocentric point of view on the world is somehow better, when African and Oriental people also have their own values, their own literature, their own customs, their own way of dress, cuisine, culture, basically a civilisation? Are you going to tell me that they are inferior and are uncivilised savages? And also, if these are not what you espouse in real life, then I apologise if I have caused you any offence, because some of the things I've seen your party write are to me quite realistic |

| Message | UBWP - Great speech! Against hate, for the democracy and liberty in Beluzia! |
| Date | 15:30:15, July 12, 2019 CET | From | Party of Rigth Libertarian-Beluzia | To | Debating the Bamburgh State Government Coalition Negotiations |
| Message | The fuck up for ONOP is over, do not step on us all |
| Date | 17:52:49, July 12, 2019 CET | From | One Nation, One People! | To | Debating the Bamburgh State Government Coalition Negotiations |
| Message | Mr. Speaker, This is why we have introduced federalisation laws: because there are political divisions in this country. But once we'll have achieved what must be, political divisions will fade with time. What is clear is that we've not only obtained the most seats, but the most votes, which gives us a great legitimacy. And we won't stop getting more votes because our movement is the only movement that defends beluzians! OOC: I know how the algorithm works in this game. No need to make me a lesson. And I'd like to point out something crucial. What my party says is just what my party says and the political views of my party are the political views of my party. I don't know who you are and I did insult you, nor do I have the same political views as ONOP! in real life. Remember this is a game and do not feel insulted through the voice of my party. |

| Message | OOC: That is good to know, ONOP. I'm from Hong Kong, I went to an international school that was multicultural, so I was shocked and disgusted that your views were very extreme when it came to race. I know this is a game, but just all this popping up gave me quite a scare. And you have every right to say whatever you want to say, you have the right to be a proponent of whatever political views in this game. It's just that I've lived with multiculturalism throughout my whole life (at school) and will be doing so in September when I go off to London, so I was kind of insulted. No hard feelings, and I apologise if I was very condescending to you. |
