| Message | Chancellor Moore appreciates the SRP's vote of confidence in her leadership abilities; however, she feels that it is in the best interest of the nation that a new chancellor be installed as soon as possible, since she has reached an impasse with the new cabinet and is unable to work the parties in it. -Arjun Ayaz, FFP Spokesperson |
| Date | 21:35:42, November 28, 2006 CET | From | Progressive Centrist Democrats | To | Debating the Call for early elections, February 2321 |
| Message | If the government is thinks that they did a good job, why be afraid of early elections. |

| Message | We are off course sorry to hear that the chancellor is not satisfied with the current government. From the premiers side we have done everything to work with her, but she and rest of the old parties must respect the constitution and the majority. So guess its just too bad, but then again that's democracy. |
| Date | 23:54:14, November 28, 2006 CET | From | Absolutist Party | To | Debating the Call for early elections, February 2321 |
| Message | Maybe if you had voted for them earlier, when we wanted them, we would vote yes. What goes around, comes around. No. |
| Date | 02:12:06, November 29, 2006 CET | From | Ikradone Nationalsozialistische Partei | To | Debating the Call for early elections, February 2321 |
| Message | We would like early elections, but it would be better to have them AFTER the amendment to increase the size of the Assembly, assuming it passes. |
| Date | 04:53:46, November 29, 2006 CET | From | Lyika ati Isọdọtun | To | Debating the Call for early elections, February 2321 |
| Message | In response to the UC, we are not asking for a favor. Chancellor Moore has exercised her constitutional right to request the dissolution of the Assembly and a reelection of the chancellor. Furthermore, had we supported your request for early elections several years ago, you very likely would not hold the seats you currently do, since you would not have had sufficient time to build up a voting record. Your request for early elections was one of impatience and convenience; Chancellor Moore has made this request in order to facilitate the smooth workings of government. If it is indeed the will of the Ikradonian people to send our nation into a fascist direction, then this is prima facie evidence that Moore has lost her popular mandate and should therefore be recalled. -Arjun Ayaz FFP Spokesperson |

| Message | She will learn this in July of next year |
| Date | 06:10:52, November 29, 2006 CET | From | Lyika ati Isọdọtun | To | Debating the Call for early elections, February 2321 |
| Message | If the rightist bloc of this Assembly wishes to obstruct democracy by leaving our government in a deadlock, then the FFP will not push for resolution of this impasse. Chancellor Moore offered this vote as a means of returning the national executive to a functioning order, but it seems as though the current cabinet has no interest in such an action. In response, the Chancellor has decided to table the motion for early elections and has cancelled her weekly cabinet meetings for the remainder of her term, calling the meetings a "painful experience that accomplishes nothing but constant argument." |
| Date | 10:17:47, November 29, 2006 CET | From | Black Wolfs | To | Debating the Call for early elections, February 2321 |
| Message | Our government is not in a deadlock. We are proposing and voting on legislation. Legislation that the chancellors do not agree with, that's her problem. Early elections should be held when it is impossible to form a government, but we have a government and it is working. The premier is disturbed that the chancellor will not live up to the constitution and hold regular meetings with the cabinet thereby not respecting the people. But then again the old parties only respected democracy when things where going their way |
| Date | 15:34:50, November 29, 2006 CET | From | Lyika ati Isọdọtun | To | Debating the Call for early elections, February 2321 |
| Message | There is no constitutional obligation that the Chancellor meet directly with the cabinet at any point. Cabinet ministers are still free to submit recommendations to her office, which she will then take under advisement. |
