| Message | what a load of lies. There is no drug related crime at all. Prohibition artifically inflates the cost of drugs making it necessary to commit crime to afford drugs. Anyway, it's my body you fascist |

| Message | The reason the MLF young yobbos believe "There is no drug related crime at all" is probably because they are so out of their heads on drugs themselves. It is a sad fact of political life in Aloria that the drugs epidemic has reached even the National Assembly itself. Abraham Bridgewater (Leader of the Pensioners' Party) |

| Message | Don't bother, MLF. I'll probably be dead by the time the courts get round to hearing the case... Abraham Bridgewater (Leader of the Pensioners' Party) |

| Random fact: In order for a Cabinet bill to pass, more than half of the legislature must vote for it and all of the parties included in the proposed Cabinet must support it. If your nation has a Head of State who is also the Head of Government, then the party controlling this character must also vote for the bill, since the Head of Government is also a member of the Cabinet. If any of these requirements are not met, the bill will not pass. |
