| Message | We agree with our honourable colleagues on a number of proposals but we must voice our concern over restricting vehicles to those that are only environmentally friendly. We believe we will deny a significant portion of our citizens the right to own cheaper vehicles. |

| Random fact: "OOC", "IC" and "IG" are commonly-used acronyms in Particracy. "OOC" refers to comments, discussions and actions which are out-of-character, meaning they are done player-to-player rather than party-to-party. "IC" refers to in-character interactions (ie. party-to-party). Similarly, "IG" means in-game, although this term may also simply refer to what happens in the actual game interface, as opposed to on the forum or elsewhere. "RP" just means "role-play". |
