| Message | No to the first three, though we will support a change to different titles. We will suggest some at a later date. ok on #4. As to number of seats we prefer something to make the math easy for constitutional bills thus 301, or 601 or some such number. |

| Message | Is it just that they aren't YOUR names that YOU chose that you oppose. The real reason I introduced the change was because plainly, we think the term "Dauphin" is retarded! |

| Message | Lets give you a quick hint. This bill needs two thirds to pass you have 0/3. For it to pass you would need the support of both us and the People's party, since either one of us have enough seats to block it. So it does not help to get the bill passed by attacking us and pushing this to a vote before half the parties even see it. We stated that we would not support president, state, senate not because they weren't our suggestions, rather they are lame and completely unoriginal. To further fill you in we dislike Dauphin as well, thus we where hoping to work with you on something we all could agree on. |

| Message | To put it simply, no on this Bill. I do not believe that a new party here, like ourselves, has the right to change this nation into the mini-United States of America. |
| Date | 07:45:12, July 08, 2006 CET | From | Malivia Democratic Party | To | Debating the Federal Act |
| Message | I support 4 and 5, the rest are just names so I'll support this anyways |
