| Message | "If research has to go through mountains of red tape achieve anything, suffering humans will die. There will be no progress. We protect animals from cruelty already, the LP sees this as just another attempt to expand the big government bureaucracy." ~Stuart McCallum, Shadow Science and Technology Minister |

| Message | But it's fine if they die as part of a huge privatisation scheme where they have to pay for their health system, or apply to the Government everytime they need to get a procedure done, losing precious seconds just waiting for the Government to say they'll pay for their life-saving procedure.....if it comes in time. You're for saving peoples lifes, but you're against us helping them to pay for it. You're against taking DEAD people's organs to save the living, you're against giving poor people heating so they don't freeze to death. |

| Message | "Hospitals competing against each other allows for better health care over all. It's not the government's responsibility to tax the hard working, then give it to those who should have invested in private insurance. There is always friends, family and private charity. We want to give people more options, more choice. Now, in extreme cases where people fall through the cracks, we will dish out welfare, so no one's left behind. We voted for your organ donation reform, get your facts straight. Everyone can afford electricity, Zardugal is not a 3rd world nation, nor does it have an extreme climate" ~Stuart McCallum |

| Message | Stuart McCallum - "We want to give people more options, more choice." Oh dear... WHEN YOU'RE SICK OR INJURED, YOU DON'T WANT A CHOICE OF HOSPITAL! YOU WANT MEDICAL CARE! |

| Random fact: Moderation will not accept Cultural Protocol updates which introduce, on a significant scale, cultures which are likely to be insufficiently accessible to players. In particular, for all significant cultures in Particracy, it should be easy for players to access and use online resources to assist with language translation and the generation of character names. Moderation reserves the right to amend Cultural Protocols which are deemed to have introduced significant cultures that are not sufficiently accessible and which are not being actively role-played with. |
