| Message | Absolutely not. The government has a responsibility to its citizens. If drugs are inherently dangerous, then the government cannot assume that citizens will have the clear judgement necessary to make an intelligent decision regarding the use of drugs. Mind-altering substances, especially. |

| Message | The government has a responsibility not to treat its citizens like errant children. If people make bad decisions, that is their choice, not the government's. |

| 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. |
