| Message | If people WANTED "informative and educational content" trust me, the free market would provide it. There's no need for this bill. All it does it take people's money and put it into some useless government program, not to mention swells the size of the federal government. |

| Random fact: In cases where a party has no seat, the default presumption should be that the party is able to contribute to debates in the legislature due to one of its members winning a seat at a by-election. However, players may collectively improvise arrangements of their own to provide a satisfying explanation for how parties with no seats in the legislature can speak and vote there. |
