| Message | We fail to see how Article II is compatible with the Bill title or the other proposals. On balance, however, the party whip will support this bill. |

| Message | Mr Speaker, We fully support article one. To kill is to kill. We must unfortunately oppose this bill. Divorce is unChristian, and cross-dressing is bloody silly. (ooc: Not doing the Mr Speaker thing anymore, chaps?) |

| 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". |
