| Date | 20:49:31, June 28, 2020 CET | From | Socialist and Democratic Party | To | Debating the Rural Party Election Manifesto |
| Message | It is a shame to see Páirtí Tuaithe na Kirlawa attempting to slip our nation back into the past. We believe to is possible to both preserve our unique rural culture, without compromising on our belief of equality, liberty and reason-based and scientific decision making. In particular, the backsliding on climate change commitments is a travesty for our country, which could cause irreversible damage, not only to our country but the world. |

| Random fact: Particracy does not allow real-life brand names (eg. Coca Cola, McDonalds, Microsoft). However, in the case of military equipment brand names it is permitted to use simple number-letter combinations (eg. T-90 and F-22) borrowed from real life, and also simple generic names, like those of animals (eg. Leopard and Jaguar). |
