| Message | Why? |
| Date | 16:13:21, July 16, 2005 CET | From |  National People's Gang | To | Debating the Call for early elections, June 2081 |
| Message | Most bills are now subject to a filibuster. Elections are necessary to clear pending legislation. |

| Message | Nicely delusional. You can no longer clear your own bills, the bills that have passed so far in this parliament are likely to give your opponents an advantage if there is an election soon. You may of course abstain, or vote against the movement to create a non corrupt government, but trying to prevent the anti-corruption bill passing in this way is typical of the unethical and anti-democratic behaviour that we have come to expect from Equi-trista. |

| Message | CCF? You cant give in to this deliberate attempt to mess up our democratic system. Please. |

| Message | I see no reason why. |
| Date | 03:12:29, July 17, 2005 CET | From | Adam Smith Party | To | Debating the Call for early elections, June 2081 |
| Message | Do we detect dissent in the cabinet MLP and CCF? If so, perhaps it would be only reasonable to address your issues to the Head of the Government. |

| Message | Makes no difference to me if elections are in Feb. or July 2082. The motion has been defeated anyway, as was probably the intent of this whole bizarre strategy. As to dissent, i believe the differences of opinion have been expressed in-character at great length, haven't they? |

| Message | ((OOC I had understod that there was a basic agreement that I was to support your ecological bills, which I have done, and you would support the proposed cabinet. I may be wrong of course. )) |
