| Message | Nation name change: We do not want a title with "Holy" in it. Monarchy: We would like an elected President instead. Name of legislature and Head of Government: Your proposals are not ideal for us, but we would support them in preference to the status quo. |

| Message | I've been thinking: maybe 'King's Council' sounds better than 'Royal Assembly' and if the SNU want a president, why don't we make the Head of Government the 'President of the King's Council'? |
| Date | 13:16:42, October 22, 2006 CET | From | Spiritualists' National Union | To | Debating the A constitution for the twenty-fourth century and beyond |
| Message | We would support most of the articles in the Bill as a compromise, with the exception of the following: a) We are not happy with the proposal for the title of the Head of Government, but would accept "President of the King's Council" as a compromise, as the CUP have suggested. b) We are not happy with the title for the Head of State, but we would accept "King" as a compromise. |

| Message | We have amended the bill accordingly and will put it to the vote. |
| Date | 12:25:54, October 27, 2006 CET | From | Spiritualists' National Union | To | Debating the A constitution for the twenty-fourth century and beyond |
| Message | There is an apparent mistake with this Bill; it provides for the legislature be called "President of the King's Council", which I don't think is what the CUP intended. |

| Message | Well spotted: that would have been embarrassing! |
