| Message | M Speaker, We commend these proposals and would be in support of this Bill. Brian Gore Prime Minister |
| Date | 20:19:40, March 08, 2023 CET | From | Parti voisainois | To | Debating the Constitutional Reform Act of January 5268 |
| Message | Lançore has always been the core of the Camdunnaise culture and it never represented the Mordusian culture, besides, the majority of Lancorian speaks Canrillaise, it makes no sense to make it the national capital. |
| Date | 00:09:59, March 09, 2023 CET | From | Green Party | To | Debating the Constitutional Reform Act of January 5268 |
| Message | There are some positive elements of this bill but we cannot support it. Increasing salaries beyond reasonable levels is a clear example of corruption, and moving the capital to Camdun while putting Canrillais first in the parliament name are strange measures that Canrillais don’t even support. We also question the removal of mayoral elections. Jonathan Maxwell Leader of the Green Party |
| Date | 00:23:22, March 09, 2023 CET | From | Labour Party | To | Debating the Constitutional Reform Act of January 5268 |
| Message | M Speaker The Parti Camdunnaise are voting against moving the capital to Lançore because they would rather divide this country with nationalism than increase jobs and opportunities for Camdunnaise people. And the implication that Camdunnaise people aren't Mordusian, to be completely honest, borders on ethnonationalism, and as an immigrant, I won't stand for that as an MP. Azadeh Hosseini, Labour MP for Coliwick North |
| Date | 01:52:00, March 09, 2023 CET | From | Parti voisainois | To | Debating the Constitutional Reform Act of January 5268 |
| Message | We never said that the Camdunnaise are not Mordusian, we said that Lancore was not the most appropriate city to be the capital of Mordusia when it has been the cultural center of the Camdunnaise culture for many years. Such a proposal is an unequivocal provocation against the independence movement. There is no shortage of jobs in Camdun, we have no idea what Mr. Hosseini is talking about. Besides, I would like to remind you that a non-negligible part of Camdunnaise feels first Camdunnaise and then Mordusian and some only consider themselves as Camdunnaise. So yes, we are of the opinion that being Camdunnaise does not necessarily mean being Mordusian. |

| Message | Also don't you think it's a highly wasteful expenditure of money? Seriously, moving all the administrative and political infrastructure of a country is not done by snapping your fingers. It will certainly create some jobs, but at what cost? What are you going to do with the employees who have been working for years at Randworth in the infrastructures that are already all built and functional? Are you going to force them to move? For a party that claims to defend the workers, don't you have some real problem to solve and a real project that would be a much better investment for all the workers of Mordusia. |
| Date | 09:05:04, March 09, 2023 CET | From | Labour Party | To | Debating the Constitutional Reform Act of January 5268 |
| Message | M. Speaker Several departments will remain in Randworth, and we have plans to set up different departments in different areas to spread out the wealth of Mordusia, rather than concentrate it in one city Azadeh Hosseini, MP for Coliwick North |
