| Date | 14:45:32, April 30, 2006 CET | From | Communist Party of Aldegar | To | Debating the Manifesto of the RESPECT Coalition |
| Message | We agree with them all, but these are unrelated - you should make bills in which all of the articles are related. If you did this, we would vote for all of these proposals. |

| Message | We support, some elements of this, but not all. We don't think defence can be banned entirely, even if it is true that in many cases defence is a euphemism for aggression. |
