| Message | Os senhores insistem, insistem, insistem. Ainda não perceberam que não é essa a vontade dos lusitanos? Façam o favor. |
| Date | 17:08:05, October 07, 2006 CET | From | Social Liberal Party | To | Debating the SLP - Military Reform |
| Message | "A vontade dos lusitanos não se esgota nem se expressa por política ultra-conservadora do Partido Popular. O Partido Popular é que ainda não percebeu que a actual composição da assembleia nacional não reflecte a vontade expressa dos Lusitanos, pois ela foi alterado devido à desistência de outros partidos. Portanto não venham com essa condescendência populista. A vontade dos Lusitanos... saberemos todos em Agosto de 2295." - Guy Verhofstadt. |

| Message | Recordarei essas suas palavras. Em Agosto de 2295 o Partido Popular terá maioria absoluta para GOVERNAR. |

| Message | "Acho que não dissemos nenhuma novidade, nem nada de bombástico. Se o eleitorado conceder uma maioria absoluta ao PP, continuaremos fieis às nossas convicções. Estamos confiantes de obter um bom resultado e crescimento forte no eleitorado." - Guy Verhofstadt. |

| Message | Acabamos de eleger o Presidente da República, Dirk Verhofstadt e apesar de termos menos um deputado do que o PP, ganhamos no voto popular! |
| Date | 04:01:28, October 09, 2006 CET | From | Libertarian Party | To | Debating the SLP - Military Reform |
| Message | Though we completely agree with article 2, we disagree fundamentally with the rest of the articles. As such, globally we oppose this proposal. The Libertarian Party votes no as this would mean a lost of sovereignity to Lusitânia. On this matter we think we have the right to defend ourselves. |
| Date | 17:30:36, October 09, 2006 CET | From | Social Liberal Party | To | Debating the SLP - Military Reform |
| Message | "The Social Liberal Party feels, that our sovereign right to defend our nation is in now way reduced by this bill as we strongly feel that the nuclear option simply cannot be an option for the party, the nation or mankind. There has never been a war fought with nuclear weapons since WWII, and those who defended a policy of nuclear deterrence, (Robert MacNamara) are now the loudest voices of support for a ban on nuclear weapons." - Michael Ignatieff |
