| Message | As this bill will be approved by force of majority (the People's Party/Partido Popular) we ask the Social Liberal Party and the Green Workers Party to change their parties name to the Portuguese respectives. Social Liberal Party >>> Partido Liberal Social (in Portuguese) Green Workers Party >>> Partido Ecologista dos Trabalhadores (in Portuguese) Since this bill is approved these parties have to change their names to Portuguese or they will be BANNED accordingly to our nations LAW. |

| Message | Um volte face total. Desculpa que te diga mas agora não estás a proceder bem. Votaste explicitamente a favor disto ainda no outro dia e agora és contra? Já agora que autoridade tens tu para banir um partido da nação? |

| Message | Quando formos todos portugueses falaremos todos em portugues. E falo-ei com muito gosto. Não tens qualquer autoridade para banir o partido GWP. |

| Message | Ok. Eu falarei apenas em Português ao fazer propostas. Como é obvio não tenho essa autoridade. Acho que o GWP conseguirá perceber as propostas uma vez que estas são apresentadas em português. Se tiver que discutir com o GWP alguma coisa fá-lo-ei. Contudo o Inglês deixa de ser lingua oficial. |

| Message | * Enganei-me, queria dizer: uma ves que estas [as propostas/proposals] são apresentadas em inglês. |

| Message | Language apartheid?!?!? The GWP will defy this ridiculous law, as it was introduced to recognise the significant minority of English-speakers in Lusitania. This is forceful and oppressive - and we will fight this in parliament and through passive resisitance. Non! However, if English is banned, we reserve our right to represent our anglophone citizens in a neutral language - say, French. |
