| Message | The Social Liberal Party supports this motion. |
| Date | 19:28:56, October 20, 2006 CET | From | Conservative Party | To | Debating the Call for early elections, September 2302 |
| Message | This is totally ridiculous. The CP has the majority of the seats in the national assembly. This proposal is anti-democratic as it clearly neglets and ignores the will of the Lusitanians in electing the CP to form the government. The CP considers this proposal to be a shame to its own proponents! |

| Message | The Social Liberal Party supports calling for this election, because a large portion of the population that voted for the now defunct Green Workers Party is no longer represented. Not calling for an election in these circumstances is what I'd call, anti-democratic. |

| Message | And before the Conservative Party begins talking about shame, it should take good look at how it has ravaged the economy and what its doing to this beloved nation. |

| Message | We would like to encourage our compatriots and right-wingers to go for an election now. It is ridiculous that a party in this nation doesn't have a say in these crucial decisions taken and it is even more ridiculous that a party that is more against our ideology is supporting this proposal. We as a party are more affiliated towards the Conservative ideology and you know that. |

| Message | Your ideology is what's ridiculous. |

| Message | The CP is NOT truly representing the population |
| Date | 23:27:52, October 21, 2006 CET | From | Conservative Party | To | Debating the Call for early elections, September 2302 |
| Message | What are we representing then? |
| Date | 00:21:04, October 22, 2006 CET | From | Partito Nazionale | To | Debating the Call for early elections, September 2302 |
| Message | You are representing a small portion of society who had no other right wing option but to vote you. |
| Date | 02:38:53, October 22, 2006 CET | From | Social Liberal Party | To | Debating the Call for early elections, September 2302 |
| Message | You currently have a far greater portion seats in parlament than the portion of society that supports you. Plus your economic policy is catastrophic. Change is needed. |
| Date | 19:03:22, October 22, 2006 CET | From | Conservative Party | To | Debating the Call for early elections, September 2302 |
| Message | Our question was rethoric. We are representing ~ 57% of the Lusitanians who clearly voted for a change towards our politics and restoration of our beloved constitutional monarchy! |
| Date | 00:45:05, October 23, 2006 CET | From | Social Liberal Party | To | Debating the Call for early elections, September 2302 |
| Message | You are representing 57% of voters, but you currently have 74% of the seats in parliament. I believe I do not need to make myself more clear than that. Call for an election you gutless coward! |
| Date | 01:16:42, October 23, 2006 CET | From | Conservative Party | To | Debating the Call for early elections, September 2302 |
| Message | Wrong. We do not have 74% of the seats in the parliament. The parliament has less 57 seats (occupied) since the GWP dissolved. The Social Liberal Party is reaviling is lack of competence to govern Lusitânia by its anti-democratic campaign against the legitimity of the Conservative Party government, voted by more than half of the Lusitanians. We apologize if that is not easy to digest for the SLP, but we will not quit the duty that Lusitanians give us to accomplish, that is, our political program. |

| Message | You are lying. Do the god damn math. The Conservative Party is Incompetent (economic stats are horrible), oppressive (monarchism and backwards civil rights agenda) and liars (lying about the proportion of seats they currently possess). If Lusitanians return you to government... I'm out of here. A game that isn't based on realistic reactions from the voters isn't worth playing. |
| Date | 11:31:08, October 24, 2006 CET | From | Partito Nazionale | To | Debating the Call for early elections, September 2302 |
| Message | I don't agree with the SLP. We as political parties cannot neglect publice opinion. We are hoping that for the next election every party will have the necessary seats to help the state be more democratic. |
| Date | 13:36:59, October 24, 2006 CET | From | Social Liberal Party | To | Debating the Call for early elections, September 2302 |
| Message | It's not a question of neglecting public opinion. It's a question of playing a game that is based in reality. In real life what voters would vote again for a party that has thrown the nation into a devastating drop in the GDP/capita and taken away their civil rights and established a monarchy removing a DEMOCRATICALLY ELECTED PRESIDENT? |
