| Message | We are fiercely opposed to Article 7, which would lead to the smaller regions receiving more seats in the legislature than the larger regions. |
| Date | 16:43:27, December 03, 2006 CET | From | Redneck Party | To | Debating the Liberal Unionist Reforms |
| Message | Article 4 is insane in a time of terrorism. |
| Date | 15:53:18, December 04, 2006 CET | From | Covenanters (IA) | To | Debating the Liberal Unionist Reforms |
| Message | The smaller regions wouldn't receive more seats than the larger ones - they just won't receive quite as many less as they would under the alternative system. We're quite happy for civilians and migrants to carry ID cards or be tattoed if necessary, but Citizens of this Holy Empire have earned the right to be treated better than that. |
