| Message | I ask the Liberal Party, what if the largest party is 40% and ultra liberal, while the other parties are mostly conservative and have (in combination) 60% of the seats? It is democratic to leave it up to the parties. |

| Message | Considering a coalition must meet 50% aproval, yes it is. The largest party's leader should choose whatever coalition he wants to establish. |

| Random fact: The people in your nation don't like inactive parties. When you often abstain from voting for a bill, they will dislike your party and your visibility to the electorate will decrease significantly. Low visibility will means you are likely to lose seats. So keep in mind: voting Yes or No is always better than Abstaining. |
