| Message | We must ask the representatives from the MDP not to include proposals that are not related, as it makes voting on single bills difficult and often irrational. |
| Date | 14:52:22, December 03, 2006 CET | From | Malivia Democratic Party | To | Debating the Omnibus VI of 2323 |
| Message | We have a long tradition of having bills in Malivia that include unrelated proposals..as omnibus bills. I feel its better to have several bills..having a few proposals each that can be negotiated..that it is to have three times as many bills with only one proposal. |
| Date | 13:53:20, December 04, 2006 CET | From | Leftsocialist Party | To | Debating the Omnibus VI of 2323 |
| Message | No. |

| Message | We cannot support either measure. We have eliminated private cars from Malivia, due to their wasteful nature, both in pollutants and space needed to house them all, drive them everywhere. The second article unnecessarily restricts our citizens. |

| Message | The second article doesn't restrict citizens rights to show their religion. It only restricts public officials from showing their religion. Separation of church and state. |
| Date | 20:18:06, December 04, 2006 CET | From | Leviathan Party | To | Debating the Omnibus VI of 2323 |
| Message | Restricting the expression rights of our public officials borders on tyrannical. A person, regardless of profession, must be allowed to express their faith in a respectful and appropriate manner at all times. The symbols of a religion are one of the most basic forms of religious expression. |
