| Message | Once again, the video can be found at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ocyZ4NnPreQ This bill is being put forward to the legislature once more due to the new makeup of the Alorian Government. If the same parties voted the way they did before, then this Bill shall be passed and Guyball will rightfully be the new professional sport of Aloria. Professional Bicycling is not an appropriate choice of professional sport. While Aloria is a home of professional cyclists, and cycling is is a popular hobby, it is not a dominant sport. Schools do not encourage professional cycling the same way as they do Guyball. Professional Cycling is a sport only for the fittest of individuals, while Guyball can be played by anyone. One does not need to look further than the recent rise of popularity in Guyball to see that it really is the dominant sport in Aloria- the number of clubs have increased 75%, and turnouts to club matches (most notably in Sildar) have increased three fold. |

| Message | As the party who proposed bicycling and opponents of a sport we've never heard of, we will vote against this. Seriously, just because you can propose it in two bills doesn't mean it's the dominant sport. |

| Message | I have consulted with my party colleagues on this, and we all agree that Guyball is not a sport to be encouraged, and thats its popularity is yet another sign of how uncouth young people are these days. Abraham Bridgewater (Leader of the Pensioners' Party) |
