| Message | Of course, we will oppose, but we think it best that issues such as these are revisited from time to time. Debate never hurt anyone, did it? |
| Date | 21:16:04, July 05, 2006 CET | From | Democratic Socialist Party | To | Debating the Challenging the Status Quo |
| Message | Just as a point of game mechanics, by voting against your own bills you will decrease the amount of votes your party gains. The DSP might actually be willing to support article 3 if it were proposed separately. |
| Date | 01:32:12, July 06, 2006 CET | From | Ikradonian Faith Party | To | Debating the Challenging the Status Quo |
| Message | Actually, we support all three provisions. They provide the best and safest circumstances for raising little Ikradonians. |
| Date | 05:42:35, July 06, 2006 CET | From | Liberal Party | To | Debating the Challenging the Status Quo |
| Message | It's not about game mechanics. It's about responses like the one from the IFP, that foster debate on the issue. |
